Banks of beauty

In July, I shared some photos of early summer’s flowered finery (www.riverreporter.com/column/river-talk/11/2015/07/01/flowered-finery). As the season has progressed, a different set of regional beauties has seized the stage. Along the banks of the Lackawaxen River, an assortment of flowering plants are now competing for resources such as light, water and nourishment to sustain their showy blooms. Some are faring better than others, but all are putting on a lively display, guaranteed to satisfy our senses and restore our spirits. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the vegetation depicted here, all of which enjoy the moist and marshy habitat offered in the riparian zones of rivers like the Lackawaxen and Delaware.
