The range of the aptly named Thin-winged Owlet moth is said by the field guides to be Ontario to Southern Connecticut and points south. I guess this one isn't much of a reader.
The diminutive Gentian relative called Centaury lifted its yellow centered pink flowers above dry roadsides.
Pale Touch-me-not opened a few pale yellow, short spurred flowers in rich moist woods.
And Spikenard, a Ginseng relative, opened a few tiny flowers on round umbels. The dark angular stems of Spikenard give it a shrubby look. And it can reach five feet tall.
