Interwoven into the Eastatoe Valley of the South Carolina is one of my favorite land marks and plant sights. After parking your car near the wall of Sourwood trees, walking past the remains of a former burnt out house, there awaits an epic granite outcrop. There are many interesting, unique specimens amongst the island of vegetations around the slabs of rock. The most unique is Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia asarifolia) which I remember a New York guy telling me circa 2012 it was “the most expensive seed to buy.” Watch out for methheads too or whoever does the spray painting up there. Look further and there is an even better plant..a Pitcher Plant…in the mountains.. wild. The epic, the famous, Mountain Sweet Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia jonesii). Not the most upright and beautiful within the Sarracenia genus. But, maybe, the most elusive. It only exists and stays alive due to a trickle of water from the higher elevations of nearby mountains. And, they exist directly beside dry as hell plants on the outcrop which creates a unique juxtaposition.
