Parallel Serpentine
This woody vine looks kind of like a tree; If you plant muscadine vines, which may live for decades, know that they will require a minimum 20 feet of trellis per plant: a properly-trained vine has a trunk, 2 (or 4) arms (cordons), and fruiting spurs that form on shoots (also called canes) – as the vines mature, they tend to get woody and that means heavy

Landsford Canal State Park, SC – 2019JUN04 – Shoals Spider Lily:
I've long wanted to see the largest known stand of the rocky shoals spider lily in peak bloom on the Catawba River, Number One on the Landsford Canal State Park's Top 5 Things To Do.
Today we drove into South Carolina just to see those spider lilies!
We also explored the Canal Trail and read the interpretive text along the path to understand the incredible work done on the trail by 1820s standards. "Next time" we want to paddle the shoals and appreciate the power of a piedmont, fall line river.
Hope you enjoy the 14% of 144 photos we took here this day!
