Flower ID

Our first stop was a park/trail by a big dam(Union Lake?). Then we went to a swamp a couple miles away. Speaking of Millbillies, two friends of mine were working on a building in Millville. A plumber was just finished installing a water fountain. One of my friends was thirsty and asked the plumber if it was ok to get a drink because sometimes you have to let the water run awhile to clean out the junk in the pipes. The plumber replied "You don't want to drink this water, did you get a good look at the people in this town"

Alas! Back when I was a Millbilly it really was the land of Millbillies.In the last 20 years it has become the land of Millgangstas :-( The crime rate skyrocketed immediately after Whitman relocated part of Camden to the HUD houses in certain areas of downtown.You know the saying "you can take the boy out of the country but you cain't take the country out of the boy"?Well it also applies to hood rats as well.Much of center city is a no go after dark.Couldn't pay me to move back there.Us Lakers have an even worse reputation.They still haven't come to a consensus on how many lakers it takes to make a full set of teeth.I'd say at least a dozen

But at least you can walk the streets here as long as you watch for the snuff splashes if yer barefoot.

Hey Tommy! That first one looks like Monkey Flower. The second one is likely a Boneset, Eupatorium (perfoliatum?). Have to see the leaves. The third one is unkown--maybe moth mullien? The 4th one is likely an Eleocharis.

you two should take all these photos and ID them and this thread could be like a Barrens plant guide! Been trying to bone up on my plants a little better and this is a good thread to help with that.

That Bog Button is Sclerolepis uniflora Tom.

I had a good time today.

I really enjoy the field trips. Having experienced people go out with us really helps us see how it's done.

A siamese Pipewort? There were several double and triple heads and one quadruple head Pipeworts along the Mullica. Also a white Canbys Lobelia.

Real nice Tom, real nice.

Pine Barrens Giardia
Little Ladies Tresses
Ludwigia hirtella
Salt Marsh Fleabane (where?)
?? Help me out here. That one looks special, but I don't know what it is. Another type of Giardia? Do you see the Galium below it though?

I'm going out all day Saturday south of Atsion. I love that area this time of year.

The last one is a mystery. If I tried to photograph the Galium it would be a fight to get the camera to focus, so I guess the secret is to focus on something nearby. All photos except the Spiranthes were near 206 and the R/R tracks at Atsion. I will be there Sat. also on a field trip led by Ted.

Is that the narrow-leaf sunflower? I'm sure the other one is a Hypericum, maybe Canadense. Don't tell me what the grasses are, I'm not there yet, though I do have some under my belt now.

Helianthus angustifolius. Do you know all 279 sedges already?

Hell no, not by a long shot....

Is Russ going? If he is and he has time after class ends and wants to see that Xyris stand I told him about, tell him to call me on my cell when he is done with his tour.....
