Mt Loretto Plants

There was a lot of goldenrod but I didn’t try to ID it all. Here are a few plants that I did ID using iNaturalist, my books, and the internet.

    All are great. I particularly enjoyed waking up to the day with viewing the Phragmites australis. Inspirational. I thought amusing the photo that looks like a bunch of green grapes!

    I so very much enjoyed all these unique grasses, Sherry. Your photos are wonderful and I especially liked the first one in its serenity and beauty; and the winged sumac that is lit up and featured like a masterpiece.

    Good Going! Some goldenrods are distinctive, others not. Seaside is distinctive.
