Description
Wildflowers growing in the CVNP Beaver Marsh area late in the summer of 2021. I believe these are Jerusalem Artichokes, a form of sunflower. They are not true artichokes, but they bloom late in summer and fall and produce an edible tuber. They were an important food source for Native Americans and early colonists.
The “Jerusalem” moniker is believed to be a corruption of the Italian word for “sunflower” (girasole, pronounced “jeer-uh-so-lay”).
