Day Date at Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, Part 2. Gorgeous late spring day on the summit of Spruce Knob.

From top: View from the main overlook toward North Fork Mountain; flagged red spruce and broken Pottsville sandstone on the western-facing slope of the mountain; a close-up of a bunchberry (Cornus canadensis) "flower", characterized by four white bracts surrounding a mound of true, white to purplish flowers that will soon be replaced by edible, bright red berries; the ball-shaped, greenish-white flowers of wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), which cluster under the plant's umbrella-like leaves; the elegant yellow flower stalk of yellow Clintonia (Clintonia borealis), also known as bluebead lily for the porcelain blue berries that follow the flowers in late summer; a late-flowering red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa var. racemosa), also known as red-berried elder and scarlet elder, typically one of the first plants to bloom in Appalachia's higher elevations; fringed bleeding heart (Dicentra eximia), also known as turkey corn, a gorgeous perennial wildflower of Appalachia's higher mountains, much loved for its extended bloom time from spring through fall; and early azalea (Rhododendron prinophyllum), also known as roseshell azalea, a tall, hardy shrub that loves the acidic soil of the Appalachian highlands.

Smoothie Ideas

It’s been a little while and since I posted one of these and I’ve been asked by exactly no one to post another, so here we are! If I had access to all of these and a good amount of space to work with as well as room in a freezer, and a good blender/food processor, this is what I would do. All plant parts in equal amounts. Plus plain yogurt and silky tofu for texture. And honey, maple syrup, and cane sugar for added sweetness. Also assume anything toxic or potentially toxic (elderberries and pokeberry, for example) are properly prepared (cooked, seeds removed, etc.).

Canadian dwarf cornel, Canadian bunchberry, quatre-temps, crackerberry, creeping dogwood (Cornus canadensis) is a species of flowering plant in the Cornaceae (dogwood) family, native to eastern Asia (Japan, Korea, northeastern China (Jilin Province) and the Russian Far East), the northern United States, Colorado, New Mexico, Canada and Greenland. Unlike its relatives, which are for the most part substantial trees and shrubs, C. canadensis is a creeping, rhizomatous perennial growing to about 20 cm (8 in) tall.
