Mountain Gentianopsis 2025 One of Georgia's threatened species... |

| Early October, 2025 After checking on the Clay County, Fringed Gentians last week, I wanted to monitor Georgia's remaining population. Their numbers in recent years have been worrisome, but the main site seemed to be doing well this year. As usual, the few former roadside locations had been mowed and I didn't see any flowers there. |
