Walk at Quarry Hill

Jewelweed

Quarry Hill had some great native flowers blooming today. The seed pods of this yellow flower are quite jumpy! Jewelweed is known for its explosive dispersal method as they try to spread their seeds over a wider area.

The seeds pods are spring-loaded
It is a very explosive dispersal process
Also spotted was Tall Bell Flower…
…and Jack-in-the-pulpit
