What is this plant?

10 years ago

Hi everybody reading this. A friend and I went to Ohiopyle, Pa yesterday, and I took a bunch of pics near Cucumber fall(s) of the native Rhodies and Solomon's seal, ferns, something that looked like Bleeding hearts foliage, or Tiarella (sorry not sure, no blooms) and there was a colony (small) of a plant that looked like a Hart's tongue fern or Tender leaved Liriope, I am guessing. So here is a pic Wild shade plant SW Pa woods

    Me again, I will add that when you click on the picture there is my whole photo album, and it includes all the pics my friend and I took that day plus others. I welcome anyone to see those pics from that day of the wild Rhododendron Maximum growing wild at cucumber fall(s) and the rocky areas leading down to where the fall(s) are at. It is super close to Ohiopyle Pa. The area is so beautiful. It is a great little area that you can access by just following a small little pathway with steps made of stones and it has handrails, in just about 75 ft of walking along the steps MAYBE a little less you are near the waterfall. waterfall

    I welcome anyone to share their beautiful woodland pics here. I am really curious about the plants in the first post by me. So, I hope someone has any info, I am in Fayette county Pa, as is Ohiopyle state park, and Cucumber fall(s). But, I would love to see other peeps woodland pics, even if you have created your own piece of woodland with native plants. Poaky1

    The picture just isn't high enough resolution to see it clearly. Can you post a picture (edited to show just the plant in question) and post it using houzz's native photo posting button? All I can tell is that it's probably a monocot... Also, you should probably post this new and improved picture on the name that plant forum.

    I've never used the native posting button, explain how I do that. As far as another photo, I'll take one when I go back up the mountains again, maybe next week, or the next. It was taken in a good bit of shade. There is a wooden railing between the plants and the walkway, however there are a couple tiny plants on the dirt path growing in crevices. I am pretty clueless on how to do things on the computer, so I will add that I have photobucket as my picture holding place. If it makes a lot of difference I'll try the posting button thing, but, it's easier for me to just use my photobucket. So explain in great detail how to do it how you mentioned. There was another plant I thought (the leaves) looked familiar, kinda like Tiarella, it wasn't in bloom yet. I'll try and get a pic of that also. I will try the name that plant forum also, once I have a good pic. I just hope I can get enough light to see the leaves texture, there are lines lengthways down the leaves, they are all green, but the leaves have the grooves longways down. I will try and get a pic soon. Thanks Macranthos.

    I found out what it is: It's the "Seersucker woodland sedge", Carex Plantaginea. I don't know how to copy a pic from the internet to place here. It is a grass type plant, or IS a grass. And is native here in Pa.
