Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

Monument Plant (Green Gentian)


Monument plants are distributed widely across the Continental United States.  Given that, you might think they would shun higher elevations.  On a mountain drive the other day, however, I found many dozens of them growing in solitary fashion at elevations above 7000 feet.  Some of the plants were two feet tall and in full bloom.
Posted are two photographs I captured of the flowers.
