Wilds Rambler: February 2013
http://wildsrambler.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Ram·bler/ˈramb(ə)lər/Noun 1. A person who walks in the countryside for pleasure. 2. A straggling or climbing rose. I am not a rose. But if I were, I'd definitely be a straggling one. This blog is a way for me to share the amazing things I see and learn every time I step into nature. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. A Cautionary Snow Tale. Winter Storm Rocky's meager offerings. Marmaduke says "No way". There was a minor amount of snow hi-jinx and frolicking by the members of the household. Anthony, full frolic.

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: June 2014
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2014. Homogenization is occurring at a breakneck speed in the Ozarks, and most of it is caused by our own carelessness. It is not an accident if the results could be prevented.

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: Lush
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2015/05/lush.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. We visited an Ozark fen that had been used in the 1970s as a recreational mud pit for trucks. The deep muck almost swallowed my colleague as he sank to his knees in beautiful black fen soil. He came out with a monster-sized devil crawfish whose turrets and tunnels coursed through the fen. This fen is dominated by uncommon sedges and ragworts today, but I wonder what we lost during the 1970s. Posted by Allison Vaughn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Rumble becomes a Roar.

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: Into the Elk River Hills
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2015/05/into-elk-river-hills.html
Saturday, May 02, 2015. Into the Elk River Hills. Down in that deep McDonald County country one encounters a limestone layer that supports a suite of rare-in-Missouri plants like Draba aprica and other spring forbs including green trillium, which expressed itself as though it was on steroids, a massive plant blooming all along the bottomlands. There's an uncommon spiderwort there, too, which was blooming its ever-loving head off while I was there in late April. Posted by Allison Vaughn. You need to get w...

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: The New Nature
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-new-nature.html
Friday, May 08, 2015. So when well-minded individuals seek to convert an old hay pasture or lawn into a native grassland to support wildlife, it's an easy project to support. However, when the old pasture is nestled in an intact landscape of woodlands and glades with their own suite of native plants, I tend to be a little concerned. Where are the seeds coming from? Native to Missouri, yes, but what region? Posted by Allison Vaughn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Rumble becomes a Roar.

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: Central Plateau in Early April
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2015/04/central-plateau-in-early-april.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. Central Plateau in Early April. Posted by Allison Vaughn. Patricia A. Laster. Sunday afternoon, a little south of Jacksonville AR, I looked west as a entered the ramp for I-440 and saw a large expanse of yellow. Would it be garlic mustard plants? All I could come up with for a name of what it might be was mustard. I love reading your blog. Scott, Were on the same page! First, thanks for reading, its always nice to hear that Ive encouraged any actions to protect biodiversity!

Ozark Highlands of Missouri: March 2015
http://allisonjvaughn.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. Bloodroot's up. It's spring wildflower time! And so, I return to my wonderful Paul Nelson-illustrated Spring Wildflowers book, used in many places as a coloring book but serving as a great refresher in not only scientific nomenclature- which has probably all changed lately- but in the location of spring wildflowers. Because the book is out of print, with permission of the illustrator, I have scanned all the plates and posted them here. You'll still find spring flora. Spring ...
