| Looking for a quick afternoon excursion in early October, I remembered the Gentians I had seen along FSR 163 (Popcorn Crk Rd) back in the fall of 2019: |

|
| Appalachian Gentian, aka Showy Gentian (Gentiana decora) |
|
 |
|
| Soapwort Gentian (Gentiana saponaria) (?) See next photo... |
|
 |
|
| Gentiana saponaria (?) I previously thought these were all G. decora here, but many have the large calyx lobes of G. saponaria. They are all growing together, and there may be some interbreeding going on(?) |
