You don't see this when the intact bark covers the trunk of the tree

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!
