Looking for Flowers on a Gray Day

A Quarantine Update
This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.

ReplyDeleteThe flower is Lysimachia nummularia. Here is the wikipedia link and photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimachia_nummularia
Thanks Sandy. You nailed it! I'm relieved to find that it's non-native. If a native of my region stumped me I'd be embarrassed. I have several botanical friends who will be pleased to find out about this one. Funny, as a "weed" there is just this one small patch in the vicinity of Oakland Camp and it doesn't seem to be invading, although I see that it is invasive in some areas. Like us.
