@jamelamoroso, I’ll email you more information
Horton Grove Preserve; same population where I added a photo from last spring
Horton Grove Preserve; near barn; very rare in Triangle region
Basing my ID on geographical location in the slate belt and the immature fruit’s pedicels drooping. I will come back later to confirm with mature fruit. Wooded edge, Roadside about 14 feet wide with shallow swale in the middle. Plants were all on the wooded side of the swale, (7 ft wide) which was not mowed as much. Plants closest to the trees were the most floriferous - they likely never get mowed. I walked and measured 470 feet of roadside with 69 plants. Of those plants, 44 were single stems, and 25 were multi-stemmed clumps. Of the 69, 38 had buds, blooms or fruit while 31 had no sign of flowering.
Baby was exhausted, but finally made it to the water (out of the pictures) Pee Dee NWR
Found on the cracked side of an asphalt sidewalk
