The Hairystem Spiderwort was so nice when I photographed it a couple of days ago, I just had to return to get a few more shots. The colors vary from deep rose purple to royal purple, and they were in perfect bloom. I also got another shot of Piedmont Sandwort and a first shot of Flatrock Pimpernel...

The results of a short day trip (30 minutes) to a flat-rock location called Boggs Rock in Pickens County, South Carolina. This sprawling granitic outcrop hosts several interesting plants including the succulent, Diamorpha smallii or Elf Orpine. It is threatened or endangered in several locations and is found sparingly in only eight southeastern states. Elf Orpine prefers to grow in the harsh environment of these flat-rock outcrops where not much else can get a foothold.
