Middle Prong is full of vegetation, shade, and great saturated color. These ferns on the side of the trail caught my eye as we were leaving our lunch spot.

Along the BRP I spotted this huge cluster of bright orange/red flowers sticking up above the weeds on the side of the parkway. Behold! Grey’s Lily. They’re pretty rare, and only bloom for a short while.
