The 4,630-acre plantation on Edisto Island was a gift from the Margaret Pepper family. It was given to the state in 1977 by Mr. Pepper, but was only able to be used after his wife passed away so she would have the opportunity to continue her years on the land she loved, as per her husband's request.
In July 2008, the land - now a Wildlife Management Area operated by South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources - was made open to the public.
Botany Bay Plantation The land itself is full of nature's rich beauty - from the sunflower fields to the salt marsh and fresh water ponds to the Spanish moss draped oaks to the miles of private beach; it is emblematic of South Carolina's unique environment.

Galanthus nivalis (Amaryllidaceae) 033 21
As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first flowers to bloom; depending on region, they appear from January, often while snow still blankets the ground. This low-growing plant tolerates partial shade to full sun. It is toxic to animals and humans, but it offers the benefit of being virtually immune to feeding by deer and other wildlife.
This splendid Phalaenopsis (Moth) orchid produced eight striking flowers which lasted for many weeks. I`m not too sure of their colour description but I do know that I loved them & received many compliments for them.

Found some new trees :) .. well they are not exactly new since many have photographed them before me, but I am glad that I got a chance to create my own version of them. I visited Botany Bay this weekend, following the advice of many, and I was not disappointed.
Backyard botany safaris give me a chance to use my camera and keep my gas costs down. Here is a photo from one of those, edited to b/w.
LE at Botany Bay from last week. Caroline and I visited some of the bays surrounding Broadstairs. Took a few long exposures. This was about a minute according to the meta data. This is a really lovely spot. Can only thank Matt for introducing us to this beautiful part of the world...

I just love this road :)
Edisto Island, South Carolina.
“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson.
A classic Southern scene: a limerock road dripping with Spanish moss and haunting shadows against a somewhat foggy morning with winter light streaming through the trees.
One of my favorite places to shoot, but only in the winter when the sun is low on the horizon. A magical place in the Southern landscape!
A beautiful morning begins with the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at Botany Bay, South Carolina. The Botany Bay Wildlife Management area on Edisto Island encompasses more than 3,000 acres of beach, tidal wet lands and forest with diverse flora and fauna. This is a wonderful place to hike, kayak, or just explore the beach area.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate your views, faves, and comments!
Crocus biflorus (Iridaceae) 012 25
Crocus biflorus, the silvery crocus, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Crocus of the family Iridaceae, native to southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, including Italy, the Balkans, Ukraine, Turkey, Caucasus, Iraq, and Iran. It is a cormous perennial growing to 6 cm (2.4 in) tall and wide. It is a highly variable species, with flowers in shades of pale mauve or white, often with darker stripes on the outer tepals. The flowers appear early in spring.
Neotinea ustulata (Orchidaceae) ) 149 24
The name of this beautiful orchid refers to the dark red coloration of the unopened flowers that produces the scorched effect from which the common name burnt-tipped orchid is derived.
It is an isolated species that has always been the subject of debate as to its true generic origin. It began its existence formally described as Neotinia ustulata and was later reclassified as Orchis, where it remained for many years until research indicated that both it and its companions in the Orchis tridentata group should be more properly relocated to the Neotinia stable. It has always been puzzling that, despite often growing in the thousands with other Orchis species, Orchis ustulata has never been found to hybridize with any species other than Orchis. tridentata.
It is a widespread orchid, with a range that takes it from the Faroe Islands and Sweden north to the Mediterranean and east to western Siberia. It is usually most common in mountainous areas, where it prefers a full sun location on alkaline soils, usually short grass and alpine pastures.
Given its range of ecological zones, it can be found from April to August. Today it is known to have at least two successive flowering waves, and these later flowering plants are believed to be a separate subspecies, tentatively named aestivalis.
