Porter's sunflower

An autumnal Porter's sunflower, blooming wild on...

Arabia Mountain
DeKalb County (Stonecrest), Georgia, USA.
4 October 2024.

***************
▶ "Every year in September, an explosion of yellow flowers covers granite outcrops such as Arabia and Panola Mountains [and Stone Mountain]. These are Porter's sunflowers (Helianthus porteri), one of the autumn wonders in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area.

Found in only 4 states —Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina— the flowers are most common on the granite outcrops of the Georgia Piedmont region, thriving in fragile solution pits — vernal pools, often dry and sandy — found on bare rock faces."
