I have been housebound for the last couple of months, but
now that I am recovering I make an effort to get out and walk every
day. Despite the threatening rain I went to Point Pleasant Park late
this morning and spent two hours in leisurely walking along the
trails and near the shore. I haven't done any botanizing lately, so
I focussed on discovering what plants were still in bloom on this
mild mid-November day. I found at least a few specimens of the
following, though only the Panicled Hawkweed and the Wild Radish
still had abundant blooms:
Achillea millefolium* Yarrow
Aster lateriflorus Calico Aster
Aster novi-belgii New York Aster
Centaurea nigra* Black Knapweed
Cerastium vulgatum* Mouse-ear Chickweed
Hieracium paniculatum Panicled Hawkweed
Leontodon autumnalis* Fall Dandelion
Matricaria matricarioides* Pineapple Weed
Matricaria maritima* Mayweed
Raphanus raphanistrum* Wild Radish
Solidago puberula Downy Goldenrod
Sonchus arvensis* Perennial Sow Thistle
Taraxacum officinale* Common Dandelion
Trifolium pratense* Red Clover
The majority of these flowers, marked with an asterisk *,
are identified as aliens in Zinck's edition of Roland's Flora of Nova Scotia.
Cheers,
