From Ten Days Ago

Ten days ago a nature enthusiast friend sent me pictures of wild coffee. When I researched the plant I found another name: orangefruit horse gentian. Regardless of how the plant is known, I had not seen it before and was hoping to find it in 2025. Today was my day to search for the elusive plant - no matter what you call it.

After rereading the message from my buddy I am realizing I made more work out of finding the plant than was necessary. Had I headed in the right direction my “life plant” would have come into view early into the search. Instead, I worked harder. But, I had a good hike and a great time so all is well!
