From Currahee Mountain, we drove to
Clayton. Along the road, we were treated to a wonderful display of Smallfruit
Beggarticks (Bidens mitis). It was late afternoon but we had to stop and take
some photographs.

Bidens
mitis (Smallfruit Beggarticks, Ditch Daisy,
Bur-marigold, Midwestern Tickseed-sunflower) is
native to the United States where it’s found from Virginia to Texas. In
Georgia, it’s only been formally documented from a few counties.
But
the flowers weren’t the only surprise… More next...
