Shortly after an intro meeting for students on the practice of observing without and pre-conceived vision or plan, I drove out to Gladwyne to River Rd., parked near the Flat Rock Dam and walked to the fish ladder. Some field notes, photos and observations just below:
Wild plant #1 – Artemisia annua, [ASTERACEAE] “Sweet wormwood”
Wild plant #2, Geranium molle [GERANIACEAE] “Dovefoot Geranium”
Wild plant #3, Lamium purpureum, [LAMIACEAE] “Purple deadnettle”
