Creaping Buttercup

Creeping Buttercup

This plant is not indigenous to this part of the world according to Wikipedia.  It has been called invasive but I have not heard it described thusly at Gorman.  It is poisonous and even the sap can cause skin blistering.  The poison is rendered impotent as it dries with hay so the danger to cattle is nil.  Cattle avoid eating it green because of the undesirable, to them, taste.

I seem to remember that it is located near the on-ramp to bridge 3.  Be careful with this plant.  I think this image was captured near the vernal pool where the wood frogs breed.

Show Poster

This show is sponsored by the Richland Lithic and Lapidary Society.  It is held at the Richland County Fairgrounds in the Arts and Crafts Building.  It runs June 3 10AM to 6PM., June 4 11 AM to 5 PM.

My grandchildren love going but it is cheaper for me if they don't.  They always want to add to their collections.  Of course, I want to add to my macro sample collection.  Admission is very reasonable, especially for old guys, children and scouts.  Adults are only $5.00.

When Tom Kottyan says they have 12 quality Dealers, you can expect 12 quality dealers.  It so happens that Tom is one of them.  Last year he had a bone flint knapper from Indiana.  It was interesting to sit and talk to him while he worked.  His name was Ed Mosher.  Look about 3/4 down on the page.

If the rock hound bug has bitten you this is the place to go!

Partridgeberry

Partridgeberry

This is a wildflower which is a bit of a challenge to find.  It is just after the beginning of the yellow trail and before its junction with the blue trail.  It is on the left as you are outbound.

Partridgeberry

I found it in April of 2009 while there photographing a hawk nest.  It was peaking out from the leaf litter and it had two wholes in it.  Just the kind of puzzle I like to solve.  I don't remember how I identified it.  Steve might have helped me.

Partridgeberry

The berry is formed from "twin" blooms.

Mitchella repens (partridge berry,^[1][2][3][4] or squaw vine) is the best known plant in the genus Mitchella. It is a creeping prostrate herbaceous woody shrub occurring in North America belonging to the madder family (Rubiaceae). Wikipedia

I appear to have neglected its creeping aspect.  Sorry!

Pink Flowering Dogwood

Pink Flowering Dogwood

This tree grows in front of my house.  I planted it by myself in more ambitious days when the old one died.  It is beautiful this year.

Pink Flowering Dogwood

I've been watching it for some time to see its development.

 

Pink Flowering Dogwood

It has taken some time for the color to develop on the bracts.  I made this capture on May 13th.

Pink Flowering Dogwood

I've been keeping a sprig in the house so it won't develop without my knowledge.  I'm thinking that it is about time for the flowers to open.  I saw a little red insect or spider running around on it this morning.  I currently have a camera set up to capture the little guy, so far, without luck.  It was fast and tiny.  I could see only its color and motion.
