Monarchs are back as well.

Little Beach once had several cabins and there are utility poles still standing. One of the cabins remains and was jointly owned by some folks who now have life tenency, even as it is technically now owned by the federal govt. There was once a plan before the depression to build a road from...

Husband left the window open last night, hence I woke up with a nasty sinus headache:mad:

I saw them yesterday as well. I went home for lunch and as I was leaving for work I noticed all these butterflies passing through the yard. Then I saw the flying infront of my car everywhere. Sitting at the light at 322, I caught a glimps of one on the ground, and drove slow when the light...

Al, I think what you be referring to isn't a grass at all actually, but a sedge called Carex pensylvanica. Most true grass arow over a foot high, but I remember this was one of the species suggested by Russell Juelg as a native alternative to roadside grasses that need mowing. Its drought...

I just checked my "Wild Orchid of the Mid-Atlantic" and I would agree that its Orchis spectabilis. I don't see anything else like it in that guide. It would appear that Galearis spectabilis is a synonym.

I have to agree that the white plant is Anemone quinquefolia.

Ok I just tried to upload my pic, using the reducing software. I went for the smallest size and after almost 20 minutes it finally finished and I got an error saying the file was too large. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Al I use the Latin interchangably. Around fellow students I use it, but with most customers I don't coz like you said, they go Huh? I dont like to make anyone feel bad that way, however at the talk I gave on Sunday I did touch on the Latin and what it means to native plant seekers so that they...

I just came back from a day of botanizing. I had stopped originally looking for Pitcher plant, thinking I might find some here. There were none, but what a surprise I got! I found a nice population of Twayblades by accident because that little white flower above had drawn me in where I was...

Hey guys, I was also there. Sorry I missed you all. I gave the 11 o'clock workshop on native plants and then went out to my table and also helped out South Jersey Fair Trade as well. In my class we were talking about the bugs who visit and there was a guy who mentioned that we are the only...

Al Have you ever checked out the cedar swamp at the headwaters of Absecon Creek? Thi is a beautiful area, tho much is restricted to entry being near a military base. Iwalked it along the roadside, there is a path going back along the creek with a sign that say NO, fishing, swimming and...

Al I was actually back there today for a short time. Just checking out a bog where I study. I didnt stay long as I was returning from a all day workshop on making primitive wooden bowls in Bulltown. Enjoyed some good Fiddlehead soup there. I did check out the trails on the South Jersey Horse...

Yea that creek that come from EHC, crosses CL Rd, thats where the temp dropped on me, so nice, Lots of cedars there and very beautiful. I went across the street and followed the water as long as I could without going too far. Nice vegetation, now I see it on the map. Bear creek is a place I want...

Hehehe!!!! Maybe I should try that. But I have been reducing my girth of late, a good thing. But I am ready now that my knee is back in shape. I remember when I joined up here last summer. I was recuping from the surgery when I found this site as I was searching for an ID on an orchid I had...

It got my whole tray of Little Bluestem. I came out to see every blade all laying on the sides. Fortunately nothing else was damaged, and I do have some more plugs in the Greenhouse. But strange given its a native grass. But maybe it will re-grow. Time will tell and a lesson was learned.
