Rusty rain gutter

Rust JFK

At the Exploratorium science museum. As steel rusts it expands and cracks concrete.

I've used this rusty, collapsing fence for Fenced Fridays before, but there aren't hardly any fences that I run into during my normal daily travels, so I pretty much have to do what I can with the few that I have.

on leaves and particularly on sepals which seems interesting

calling Pyrola asarifolia but not entirely sure

leaves (mostly hidden by Linnaea borealis)

came across 2 orange rusts on Pyrola:

1 Chrysomyxa pyrolata

and www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/11956860.2000.11682605 - "Sexual spores (i.e., basidiospores) of the spruce cone rust (Chrysomyxa pirolata; Uredinales) produced on leaves of a small perennial herb, the common pink wintergreen (Pyrola asarifolia; Pyrolaceae), must travel from the forest floor to the forest canopy, where they infect the female cones of white spruce (Picea glauca; Pinaceae). Asexual spores (i.e., urediniospores) must move among pyrola plants on the forest floor. Spore transmission is complicated by relatively calm wind conditions within the forest, and the short critical period during which the cones of white spruce can be infected."

2 Pucciniastrum pyrolae
