It's been three weeks since my last post, a sure sign that wildflower season is truly winding down.
This first photo is White Turtlehead, Chelone glabra, yet another new find. This makes about 40 flowers I've found for the first time this year (not because they weren't there, but because I hadn't noticed them before).

Goldentop, Euthamia tenuifolia. Along with goldenrods, golden aster and the various helianthus species, late summer and early fall truly is the season of yellows.
Horsebalm, Collinsonia serotina.
Rabbittobacco, Gnaphalium obtusifolium.
Next we have False Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum racmosum), which is near the top of the list of my many "favorite plants". Unfortunately, it hasn't bloomed this year, not sure why, but I'll go ahead and include it. And you have to admit, even unadorned it's rather handsome.
Lastly, here's Fall Aster, Symphyotrichum pilosum.
And now for some bonus sightings. We'll start with this cute little fungus.
Kermit's brother!
Pearl crescent butterfly on Purple Aster.
