Phlox nivalis: Sandhills Game Land, Hoffman, NC
I made my first visit to the Sandhills Game Land near Hoffman, NC on a warm and mostly sunny day. I did catch a break with some late-day clouds. These showy pineland phlox are eye-catchers when they emerge from the charred floors of the recently burned forests. The Game Land appears to manage much of their forest acreage by thinning trees and allowing more light to reach the forest floor.
