From an email by Jocie to the Botany Group on October 16. Photos by Veronique. Click a photo to enlarge it.
Our last walk was a lovely morning at Woodhus Slough on October 3. Thanks to Veronique for the photos! We saw many fruiting shrubs and a few late blooms, notably a large swath of pink-blooming Douglas knotweed. Also some nice sedges along the slough. If you see any misidentifications here please let me know.
