This is a very colorful wildflower and is late a July-August bloomer. It is named after Gentius, the last king of Illyria (which was the region of the western Balkans) before its conquest by Rome in 168 BC. Learn more on a Scenic Tour. It's still summer! Wanna take a dip...this is a great spot along the McCloud River. This large plant grows throughout north America. This is one of my favorite spots in McCloud. There's no beavers anymore but very unique flora and fauna can be found here. Some would call this a Harebell. Scotland claimed the Bluebell name hundreds of years ago and it stuck! Now is the time the higher elevation wildflowers are going off!
On a side note, I am working on a new printing of my book "Mount Shasta Guide to Fun". I plan on having it out by early winter. |
