  They are quite lovely. I think the railroad may have a role in spreading the seeds. All of the plants that I saw were pretty near to the tracks. It may just be that the cleared area is good ground for them to grow in, but the wind generated by the cars may spread the seeds too - and some may even hitch rides. There were a lot of introduced plants in this area- it was an abandoned town site. The railroad still comes through, but it no longer needs coal and water stops, so many of the small towns that used to support them have disappeared, but a lot of what they planted in their gardens and brought in with their animal feed is still around.

    Abandoned and semi-wild areas in my experience are often excellent macro areas. Posted 9 years ago
