We also saw this interesting bush with bright purple berries on it. It was one of the few plants that didn't have a tag - so we have no idea what it is. And then there was this pretty fern like plants with the deep scarlet red flowers. Again, no tag so we don't know what it is (not very educational is what we are thinking!) We got lots of sniffing in and even got to see another frog and a lizard. Mom says it's the first lizard she has seen here and it was too fast to get a photo of. Hope you all had a great day too.
Too bad they didn't label the plants for you! They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDenny is getting to be so handsome! I think the girls are going to be fighting over him :)
The one with purple berries looks like our Beauty Berry bush that we just got and the fern-like one with red looks kinda like our sumac. Our sumacs are trees though but they have that same red clumpy flower on them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you guys had!
Love ya lots

Wow, you got to a nature center. I think the one with scarlet flowers is a young staghorn sumac. It's a bush but if you keep the sucker shoots cut back it will grown up like a tree. They say you can make a tea from that red flower.

ReplyDeleteThe one with purple berries is callicarpa americana. It's very unique, I've never seen it before. So your walkie was very educational. I learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time! Glad you have great weather for walkies.

We learned a lot from your educational walk too. We were going to say that that pretty bush looks a lot like Maggie and Mitch's new Beauty Berry bush, but we see they have already told you that. It is so very unique and pretty.

Very pretty - love the purple berry bush!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful plants! What a lovely day and walk you had with your mom. It's so educational.
ReplyDeleteMornin' Glories!
ReplyDeleteSo, now you know about the Beauty Berry. That Maggie and Mitch - they're ever so helpful! And now you also know about the fern, I couldn't have helped you there.
But, I'm so glad you got to walkies in that place! Pretty cool.
Rooo, Stuart
Hey Reilly, great park. Needs more signs though! I know someone that has that bush with the purple berries, I'll ask her what it is.
