While paddling a lake in Lunenburg County last Saturday,
I came across a 3 by 15 meter patch of Golden-Crest
with some 500-600 flowering heads (plus at least
the same number of non-flowering plants).
Until then, I had seen these plants mostly in groups of 10-15,
and I know of two spots where there are some 50 plants each.
Can anybody tell me if such dense patches are typical
under the right conditions, maybe outside of Nova Scotia?
I am aware that Golden-Crest is considered a rare species
in Nova Scotia, and part of the Atlantic Coastal Plains flora,
thus I suspect the patch I ran across is atypical in Nova Scotia.
