Tom, what kind of habitat should I be able to see Viola Brittoniana in?

I checked on the Lady Slippers on my way by today and it is still too early for this location.

You can check in on whats happening botanically in N.J. now no matter where you are in the world or even on Mars!

Moist sandy areas of woods near the coast or you can cheat like I did and look in the garden at Suningive(Whitesbog).

 

[oji]

Very nice Tom! Keep them coming.

Guy

I will!
