Impatiens pallida and Campanula americana

The delicate pale yellow of Impatiens pallida (yellow jewelweed) in contrast with the deep rich cool of the blue Campanula americana (tall bellflower) sets the mind and spirit at ease for late summer hikers on the Mountains To Sea Trail. Come enjoy Mother Nature's finest, as she displays her "true colors" in this showy wildflower array. Humans, canines and bees alike are drawn to the cool breeze of this local "Garden of Eden!"
