I decided to mix a little perlite into my potting soil, for aeration. A far cry from out pretty weather two days ago, when the bees. A piece of tape on...

Ohio Flora: September 2010
http://ohioflora.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Welcome to Ohio Flora. Welcome to Ohio Flora. The Ohio Nature Blog. Saturday, September 4, 2010. An Ohio mega-rarity, Schoenoplectus smithii. Or perhaps Sagitarria cuneata.

Or common threesquare ( Schoenoplectus pungens. But instead of having a terminal inflorescence (flower head), the spikes were lateral, with long bracts above...

Welcome to Ohio Flora. Welcome to Ohio Flora. The Ohio Nature Blog. Saturday, November 20, 2010. Is a rare species in Ohio occurring in a couple dozen wetlands throughout the state. In late summer of 2003, I had my first encounter with this species. I found a few plants growing in a shallow pool at Little Cedar Point in Lucas County. In seasons of high water, no plants may be seen but in years when water levels drop, exposing mudflats, you may see hundreds even thousands of plants. Saratoga woods and wat...

Ohio Flora: Butterweed, Packera glabella
http://ohioflora.blogspot.com/2011/05/butterweed-packera-glabella.html
Welcome to Ohio Flora. Welcome to Ohio Flora. The Ohio Nature Blog. Thursday, May 19, 2011. Butterweed, Packera glabella. Crop field in Delaware County, Ohio. As you drive across Ohio's farmlands, are you seeing acres of yellow right now? If so, you're most likely seeing what I like to call butterweed. It looks like giant golden ragwort, if you're familiar with the genus Packera. Were in the genus Senecio. Why has this plant expanded so rapidly? Is it taking advantage of no-till agriculture? My wife was ...

Ohio Flora: Goldenseal - Hydrastis canadensis
http://ohioflora.blogspot.com/2011/05/goldenseal-hydrastis-canadensis.html
Welcome to Ohio Flora. Welcome to Ohio Flora. The Ohio Nature Blog. Sunday, May 1, 2011. Goldenseal - Hydrastis canadensis. A close examination of the Goldenseal flower shows a complete lack of petals. The bloom consists of a ring of stamens surrounding a central cluster of pistils. The flower bud is protected by three sepals which are shed as the flower opens. Many people imagine the stamens to be petals and are led astray in their attempts to properly identify this plant.

Welcome to Ohio Flora. Welcome to Ohio Flora. The Ohio Nature Blog. Thursday, May 26, 2011.
