Shot: Close-up of flowers. Photographer's note: "Pink turtlehead is mostly known from high elevations in the southern Appalachian Mountains. The species can also be found in isolated protected habitats outside the main range. My friend Max Medley found a small population in a protected site in the Cumberland Plateau Province of northwest Georgia. This is currently the only known site of the species in the State. It is possible this is a relict Pleistocene population from a time when the Cumberland Plateau was covered with spruce-fir forest. "
