| In September I make a special trip to the New Jersey Pine Barrens to look for these beautiful rare blue pine barrens gentians, Gentiana autumnalis. Click to enlarge. |
 | |
| These lovely autumn flowers are natives of North American coastal pine barrens from South Carolina to New Jersey. See the sun shine through the cup! |
 |
| Some people think this is New Jersey's most beautiful native wildflower. |
 |
| I love the trails of dots on the petals like fairy dust. |
 |
| Pine barrens gentians bloom from September through early November. |
 |
| Hunting for gentians in the pine barrens is a great way to spend an autumn afternoon! |
