Uh oh. This is trouble with a capital T.

I thought this was going to be a white orchid in Cape May. It turned out to be a ragged fringed orchid. Common in South Jersey.

Saw this too. I think climate is really warming up for this state.

Saw this today on the Forked River. Kind of early for this, in my experience.

That last one is my girlfriends house. I just left there.

Yes. I think someone tossed out an apple and a seed took root. It was not tart, kind of like a too-young golden delicious. It keys best to Malus prunifolia.

I know what it is Ron, just giving you something to think about. The fruit is inferior, and the sepals are 5 each.

Near an intermittent pond. Ocean County. What say you?

That's scary about that car. I do a lot of roadside botany, and even if I'm in the woods I'll be parked on the road and preparing to head into the woods, or when I come out I'm around the car for a few minutes putting things away. Every single day now I smell a cloud of pot from dipshits who...

Pliers supported with magnets? Good idea.

That's interesting Mark, and it makes sense. I lived in Augusta Georgia (army brat) for 3 years, and there was one outside my bedroom window. I was 5 or so, and I loved eating them. If you find one down your way that is a true Morus rubra, and not a Morus alba or a hybrid with M. alba, let me...

No, it's Morus alba. I never thought it definitely was Morus rubra. I spoke to my friend, who's good on these. His comments: " (that is) classic (+/-) hybrid material. Tips not long accuminate enough; has to be hairy on surface below; no shine on top surface; petiole also has to be obviously...

I'm 98% sure it's Mulberry.

Try this Ron:

Okay, now I get it. Yes, I agree.

Here's one you can think about. I've made a decision, but I could be wrong. A large one for it's size by South Jersey standards.

Speaking of property ownership, I learned something very interesting yesterday. Do you know those signs on Fed property exactly like this one below? It does not mean you cannot walk on and enjoy the forest. It means you cannot enter in an unauthorized way and/or do unauthorized things while in...

It was not bad at all. Yes, there is water where there was none last week, but it's only as if it's Spring again.

I'll let you know how the swamp I'm going to tomorrow is in Cape May. I think it's on the border between lime green and baby blue.
