Just Speculation. I have a hunch that the sandstone excavated from the mining site that I had visited was transportd by wagon to the site of the Harrsville Paper Mill. As the crow flies, the distance between the two is less than four miles. I can not find on the internet where the sandstone was...

Bob; you are right. I thought I read that fives years ago on the subject of mycorrhiza. But I might have read that Arethusa settles in poor to moderate sphagnum dominated habitats rather than typical open bog habitat.

Another tidbit of information I had read about Arethusa (same as for other orchids) it needs a 'jump start' to share nutrients from other plants in this case sphagnum moss to help to produce a flower. This process is called 'mycorrhizae' through a network of fungi which connects roots of...

Why did we find three white Arethusa while finding many in the their nornal color. Plants produce anthocyanins, a water-soluble pigments of deep red, purple, and blue. Flowers that are white cannot produce anthocyanins, likely caused by recessive genetic mutations; a change in the DNA sequence...

It’s been a good year, so I’d like to go over some high points. Back in 2023, while Bob was conducting surveys on known Swamp Pink locations, I told him of an area that had good potential for finding Swamp Pinks based on its habitat; a slow moving, defined pure clean stream meandering under the...

My guess is Turkey beard.

My guess is southwest. Why would you want to ask that?

Drought can reduce tick population through desication. Per what I read. Yes, drought is good when it comes to ticks.

The only fact I can say is that the springs of water that comes to the surface in this area finds its way to the Delaware River from the western slope by way of Timber Creek, Cooper River, and Rancocas River, and on the eastern slope the Great Egg Harbor River and Mullica River and their...

I one I mentioned to Guy is not on East Stokes, but nearby.

I also have the photo of the sign in Guy's post; with the same rust spot. My photo was taken in September 2017. And I'm sure that is on a main highway that passes through the Pines. I know of one other sign, but I don't have a photo. That one is on a main 'piney' road. It may be the one on...

I say Common Hackberry.

I googled some Web sites relating to NJ/Cape May. Then checked Images, It is considered a invasive species.

My guess, it is Viburnum dilatatum (Linden Arrowhead)

My first guess is: Doellingeria umbellata. (Called Flat-Topped Aster or Parasol Whitetop)

Is that Eurybia spectabilis (Showy Aster)

For a good number of years, I've been purchasing my blueberries right from the packaging house on RT 542 in Hammonton. Never had a problem on quality, or we wouldn't be coming back each year. I buy as many as three crates, so my wife can have her yogert, blueberries, and whipped cream bowl for...

I took a similar photo of a bird at Marble Spung back in Sept 2019. I ID'd as a Solitary Sandpiper. They may just look slightly different, but the other species didn't have the same look. What goes; I have five bird guide books , but only one for trees.

What made you determine to be that? No; I don't know if I seen one, but I've been in its prime range in northern Minnesota a good number of times. In September, I'm going to be in the area of Apostle Islands along the south shore of Lake Superior in Winconsin. But I'm not spending all my time...

Here's my last try. For what I am seeing on your photo is a resinous sticky bud scale, it is a Balsam Popular.
