6.   June 21, 2009.  A large group of plants
growing at the edge of a swamp.

P. acutiflorum is the only Polemonium
species in our area which has yellow anthers.

The lowland plant elongates quickly after
sprouting, reaching a height of 18-24 inches.
It has slightly hairy sepals and the leaflets
are 3 to 4 times as long s they are wide.

The alpine plant elongates slowly, often
being in full bloom while only  few (6)
inches tall.  The sepals are very hairy and
the leaflets are about twice as long as wide.

8 .  June 12, 2006.  Entire exposed plant with
buds beginning to open.

9.  June 18, 2007.  Side view of a terminal cluster
in bloom. The other clusters have begun
to separate as the stem elongates.

10.  June 18, 2007.  Another view of the plant in
photo 9.

11.  June 18, 2007.  Front view of the
inflorescence in photos 9 and 10.

12. June 18, 2007.  Basal leaves.

13.  June 18, 2007.  Another terminal cluster of
buds. With age the entire stem will elongate
separating the single cluster into several.

14.  June 22, 2008.  Upper section of plant after
stem has elongated with age.
Not the lower clusters on long pedicels
which arise from the axils of the stem leaves.

in photo 14.

17.  June 25, 2012. Rare white-blossomed plants.
The topmost blossom at the upper-right
has begun to wither.

18.  June 25, 2012.  Close-up of the leftmost
terminal inflorescence from photo 17.  All of
blossoms except 1 have green anthers.
This may be the color after the discharge
of pollen.
