Fall pickerelweed

Still worrying about Asheville, but appreciating the wonderful place where we are.

The view of the grand swath of red was remarkable along the Pointe aux Anglais a few days ago.  What was it, we thought?  The marsh prohibited closer examination.

Pickerelweed, maybe?  I'd seen some small patches at Île-aux-Amours in Parc du Bic some days before.

And sure enough, it was pickerelweed, probably.  It's a bright red color now, as the days are cooling off.
