From an email by Jocie to the Botany Group on August 26.
Here are a few photos from John B. (with notes) which demonstrate the amazing diversity of plant and fungi species that are all around us.
John’s notes
I thought it might be fun to share a few pics which emphasize amazing textures in our flora worthy of our attention [click photos to enlarge]:
- Worm-leaved stonecrop, Sedum stenopetalum, at Pipers Lagoon.
- Purple club coral, Alloclavaria purpurea, at Morte Lake.
Two from the wet areas at Ships Point:
- Hedgehog dogtail, Cynosurus echinatus.
- Slough sedge, Carex opnupta.
- And finally, exquisite young leaves contrasting with crusty berries on common juniper, Juniperis communis, at Mt. Arrowsmith.
Lots of floral delight.
