Sarr Flava of Fort Jackson Sc

[frogsintn2]

i got permission from ft jackson people to take photos and count the plants around one pond that they knew sarr grew..it was so over grown i had a very hard time finding what few plants i did..if the wheather is good in the next few weeks here i'm going to wade the pond..or wait till spring..the first 9 pics are of plants only a foot tall and not too clumped...the rest of the photos are of plants just a little over 2ft..i hope i can find more..so far i have counted only 12 plants..very sad...the brush and weeds seem to be choking the plants out...



















this clump was growing up the side of the tree..it was rooted to its own dead roots..

went back to fort jackson sc monday to wade the pond in search of more sarr's..found a total of 50 plants..just a 1/4 of the way around the pond..3 big clumps measuring abt 3ft in dia..the rest were sm single plants..from seedlings to only abt a 1ft tall..every plant was located right on the ponds edge..the mud was so deep i couldn't getout far enough to take a pic of the banks..hope to go back soon with a sm boat....all the plants were also abt 20-50ft away from one another

Wow, that's pretty far inland... I stopped by there a week ago to pickup some BBQ at Maurices on my way down to Hilton Head SC for a holiday! I had no idea there were plants there. Thanks for sharing!
