You're so right, Ursula. We miss so much as we speed by in our cars.
Speaking of wildlings, the lady who brought me that Monk's orchid (Oeceoclades maculata) that you ID'd last week showed up at the Extension office today again with a whole bunch more of them for me! What a nice thing. I gave away two or 3 of them, (with appropriate info) and brought 6 more home.
But . . . the article on natives and naturalized species says it is a class 2 invasive species, although the fellow writing the article disagrees with the classification. I'm in two minds about whether I can plant them out in my garden or not. What does my expert panel think??
