Rare Swamp Pink

I have known about this site for many years, a rare and federally protected plant, the Swamp Pink. It blooms in May and is only found in small colonies. Don
 
I think we might have them around here. If not we have something like them.
I just love the swamps.
 
RANGE AND POPULATION LEVEL: New Jersey supports the largest and most numerous populations of the species with 68 existing sites spread over 12 southern counties in the Coastal Plain area. Most of the populations are located along the Pinelands fringe in the Delaware River Drainage. Plant colonies are found in the following counties: Atlantic; Burlington; Camden; Cape May; Cumberland; Mercer; Gloucester; Middlesex; Monmouth; Morris; Ocean; and Salem. New Jersey once supported 1OO populations; 32 of the State's populations have been extirpated.
Besides New Jersey, six other States support populations including Delaware; Maryland; Virginia; North Carolina; South Carolina, and Georgia.
