Hi there,
I usually make a point of noticing how many wild plants are still
in bloom on the first of November. I didn't this year, but on 15 November,
a spectacularly warm day, and for a few days since then, I have been
recording what I see while on walks around south-end Halifax, chiefly on
the campuses of Dalhousie University and the University of King's
College. The following are still in bloom (and I've no doubt missed some) :
Achillea millefolium Yarrow
Aster lateriflorus Calico Aster
Aster nova-belgii New York Aster
Aster puniceus Purple-stemmed Aster
Bidens frondosa Beggar Ticks
Centaurea nigra Black Knapweed
Conyza canadensis Horseweed
Daucus carota Queen Anne's Lace
Hieracium sp. Hawkweed
Leontodon autumnalis Fall Dandelion
Lepidium densiflorum Peppergrass
or virginicum ?
Matricaria matricarioides Pineapple Weed
Polygonum aviculare Doorweed
Polygonum persicaria Lady's Thumb
Senecio viscosus Clammy Groundsel
Sinapis arvensis Charlock
Sisymbrium officinale Hedge Mustard
Solidago puberula Downy Goldenrod
Solidago rugosa Rough-stemmed Goldenrod
Sonchus asper Spiny-leaved Sow Thistle
Taraxacum officinale Common Dandelion
Trifolium pratense Red Clover
Trifolium repens White Clover
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers
