| Every year in mid-September, I go to my special place in the New Jersey Pine Barrens to look for an autumn blooming flower -- the pine barrens gentian. I was there this week. Behold! |

 |
| The buds in various stages are also quite beautiful. |
 |
 |
| And searching for them involves a pleasant journey... |
 | |||
| down sandy paths, |
 |
| past peat-dark ponds. |
 |
| The flowers were thought to have disappeared locally, but were rediscovered. Rest assured they are still there and as pretty as ever. |
