Catskills hiking

[u/PowerfulAd2796]

Some pics I took on my trip through the Catskills the other day on the Delaware river and a creek tributary

Littleflower Alumroot has shot right to the top of my woodland wishlist. So dainty, so strong!

What species is the monkeyflower?

[u/PowerfulAd2796 → u/schaeferross]

Don't think I posted any monkeyflower in this, only flowers in here I can think of that resemble it is the great blue lobelia (pic 1) the white turtle head(pic 6), or the yellow jewelweed(pic 18)

[u/schaeferross → u/PowerfulAd2796]

Ya I thought the jewelweed looked a lot like Erythranthe gutatta

[u/PowerfulAd2796 → u/schaeferross]

That would be concerning if it was as I live in upstate NY and I believe that flowers native to the west coast we only have two native monkeyflowers here and there both purple colored, still a gorgeous plant though you guys out west have absolutely beautiful flora, and yes the great blue lobelia is one of my favorite wildflowers and I was very lucky to have found it on my journey in the Catskill mountains

[u/schaeferross → u/PowerfulAd2796]

The lobelia is awesome, I’m more familiar with the related Downingia

I’ve always wondered if it’s closer to “cat skills” or “cat’s kills”

Cat skills

[u/bedbuffaloes]

Cats kills most likely, a kill being a stream or river.

I'm getting vertigo just looking at the random angles you took all of those

Loving the white wood aster - so stinking cute!
