Ken & All, July 2, 2012
Dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium) is not a shrub but rather a =
perennial herb. The emergent vertical stems die back each year & new =
stems sprout from the rhizomes that (as I recall) can be up to 30 cm =
deep. Curiously they (again drawing on memory) taste like apple roots.
I once came across a patch of A. andro..um in Poplar woodland that =
had been much used by Leafcutting Bees. Just about every leaf had 2 or =
more missing disks.=20

Hi Jim
Dogbane it is. Thanks very much.( It is a real butterfly magnet. I had =
4 species on it at 6 pm yesterday afternoon in one little section of =
ditch in Georgeville (Ant.)). I guess it is why I had dogwood in my =
head. Interesting, this shrub is not in Fielding's "Shrubs of NS" as far =
as I can see.=20
After I wrote my note to naturens, I got out for an hour in =
Meilkefield in French River square (20NR 44) before thunder storm and =
rain sent me home. I was able to document, Pink-edged Sulphur, =
Questionmark, Silver-bordered Fritillary, Great Spangled Fritillary. =
Common Ringlet, and European Skipper. I have a photo of the back of one =
of those orange-black thingies I have not decided what to call it yet. I =
missed Can Tiger Swallowtail, White Admiral and Eyed Brown. The latter 2 =
I tried to photo, but should have used the net as they got away. =
Sometimes it is hard to figure which technique has the most success. The =
Swallowtail was on a non-stop mission somewhere!
cheers
Ken
