Pinehurst Flora Welcomes New England and Southern Guests
A Pinehurst horticultural piece catalogs familiar New England plant faces and newly arriving southern species. It notes Gentiana angustifolia near McDonald's grove, Saponaria and Elliottii gentians near a stream, and arbutus on high ground west of Sunset Lake. April brings violet, crested dwarf iris, Amsonia Tabernae Montana, Hypoxis, Linaria canadensis, and a pink locust alongside fragrant bay magnolia. The piece praises the novel New England and southern faces guiding a visitor through lush local flora and hints at other blooms along the village road and branches. It closes urging readers to identify elusive plants and enjoy the spring display.
