A phase-contrast micrograph of a ciliate (Frontonia sp.) digesting blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). 

The cytostome (the "mouth" of the cell) is seen on the right side down.

Ajuga ciliata

Just when I thought all the old Red Cedar trees had been logged long ago, today we found a remnant one. I guess it survived because of the remoteness and rugged topography. So happy to see such a giant still exists in Gondwana Tea Mountain.

My first time noticing Blephilia ciliata or ciliated horse mint winter basal foliage. I think I never realized how hispid the hairs were on the base nor have I really seen a complete mat before uninterrupted. I think Im just used to seeing the cauline section of the plant which is pubescent and has little hair on the leaves; though, the verticillaster is for sure ciliate. I even doubted this was Blephilia for a second due to what looked like no nodal cauline sections for leaves, aka acauline.

Growing in a shallow moss mat on dolomite and shallow mineral soil cliff side of a cold air ravine. Fort Hill SNP, Gorge Trail, Ohio.

mosquito time! Psorophora howardii is an absolutely massive mosquito native to my area. this one was surprisingly calm and I was able to pick her up off a plant stem without her flying. I don’t see these very often, and fortunately have never had one sample my blood

one of two species known as “gallinippers” after the giant mosquitoes of folklore from the American South! the other, P. ciliata, has thick hairy legs making it look even larger

Hedwigia ciliata

The lushest Spray cliff heap of Ciliated hoarmoss i’ve ever seen, RRG KY, on Alkaline Shale.

A species that is associated with epipetric habits (growing on bare rock)

and while this clump is associated with spray habitat they are really good at drying out and still functioning after a long spell.

In more acidic spraycliffs it’s possible to find Drosera rotundifolia in clumps like this.

Part 2: Early Summer Wildflower Palooza, Cranberry Glades. During the first week of July, as the orchids are peaking in the bogs and seeps, the first wave of summer wildflowers, including the milkweeds and beebalms, arrives in earnest, bringing a blaze of color to open meadows and bog and forest margins. In the old growth woods of the adjacent Cranberry Wilderness, an array of strange and beautiful fungi sprout from moss-covered logs and the forest floor.

From top: tall meadow rue (Thalictrum pubescens), also known as king of the meadow, a wetlands-loving perennial whose distinctive, cream-colored flowers are composed of thread-like stamens only; meadow phlox (Phlox maculata), also known as wild sweet William and spotted phlox, easily distinguished from other phlox species by its red-spotted stems; mountain wood sorrel (Oxalis montana); a ramp (Allium tricoccum) flower, which emerges in early summer on a leafless stalk, after the foliage has died back; a shiny hemlock varnish shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) assailed by pleasing fungus beetles (Megalodacne), rarely seen because they hide under leaf litter during the day and feed on Ganoderma fungi at night; a lovely colony of crown-tipped corals (Artomyces pyxidatus); the beguiling fringed loosestrife (Lysimachia ciliata), an aggressively-colonizing perennial that makes for a shady ground cover in native wildflower gardens; and that blazingly-beautiful mint, scarlet beebalm (Monarda didyma), whose storied history as a medicinal herb stems from its antiseptic and stimulant properties.
