Blue Wild Indigo (Baptisia australis var minor). The other two species we saw at Caddo NG were Yellow Wild Indigo (Baptisia sphaerocarpa) and Cream Wild Indigo (Baptisia bracteata).
Blueberry! The naturalist, Lisa said they often go pick them. I would too. ☺️
Another Cladonia! I think this one should be called red lips. 😉
Sundews in the muskeg!
Wild Rosemary (Andromeda polifolia) in the muskeg.
This was spectacular, the Toy Soldier (Cladonia bellidiflora)! A bucket list item for me. ☺️
A trail hand rail rope covered in mosses!
Lisa, our guide said it was time to go back to catch the zodiac back to the ship.
Lovely hike!

Toy soldier is a great name
So many wonderful finds! In a muskeg too (which I had to look up – another new word!)
