We walked at the arboretum this morning, a good day to go, it was rainy and few people out. The woods are mostly overgrown now and the prairies and glades have taken over the show. Here is a sampling.
The biggest green dragon I’ve ever seen
Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria), Figwort family
Beech nut
The glade coneflower was profuse this year. Maybe compensation for all the dogwoods lost to drought last year.
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)
White wild indigo (Baptisia alba)
Lead plant (Amorpha canescens)
Pinguid
