Our planned visit to Carlton Reserve aboard the "Hay Wagon" was canceled because of high water. Nevertheless, eight of our members and two guests spent a couple of hours there searching for plants along the parking lots and driveways. We found a great variety of native plants. With the help of Dave, Jack, Al, Jane and Denny we were able to identify many of them. Here are just a few of them:
From left to right, top to bottom, are Hog Plum (Ximenia americana), Partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), Peppervine (Ampelopsis arboea), Winged Loosestrife (Lythrum alatum), Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Musky Mint (Hyptis alata), and Southern Gaura (Gaura angustifolia).
85 species listed.
