The squares are 1” on a side in the indoor shots with white squares on the gray background. The seed shots are on a metric scale (mm divisions). Names used are those of Flora of the Chicago Region by Gerould Wilhelm and Laura Rericha. Our heartfelt thanks go to Laurie Ryan of the McHenry County Conservation District for her review. Harvest notes Successful collection of viable seed requires an understanding of when to collect, how to collect, how to store, how to process, and when to sow. Determine these criteria and have a plan before harvesting seeds, especially of uncommon species. The species are listed in order of the photo dates, so will give an approximate time for collection, but collection dates vary according to local weather effects on blooming and pollinators; proximity to Lake Michigan; slopes; sun vs shade, etc. Many seed harvest charts are available with collection dates, but it is best to scout each site rather than relying on historic dates. Seeds collected before mid-June should be sown right away. They are intolerant of dry storage and most of them require both warm & cold treatments to stimulate germination. Late June seeds are more tolerant of dry storage; sow these seeds soon, but you can let them dry for a few weeks.

  • Drawings of Plants We Found Within a 200M Walk from South Bank Train Station in July 2019
    Drawings of plants we found within a 200m walk from South Bank train station in July 2019. Black Path Press July 2019 Introduction The many different wildflowers of the Black Path grow together here as a legacy of our industrial past. In 1853 the first maps of the area show a double railway line; the land to the north is a vast expanse of mud flats that was the River Tees Estuary, to the south is farmland split into long rectangular fields and there is a single roof tile factory using the heavy clay dug from the ground. When we follow changes through the years using different maps brick works appear and disappear, line after line of railway track is added, housing built for workers, and then by 1913 the estuary mud flats are covered with slag, the stony waste product of the local Iron & Steel Industries; factories stand on top of it producing concrete, tarmac and, of course, dealing with more waste slag. Crushed and weathered slag is poor in nutrients, free draining, and with a high calcium content so only certain plant species will grow on it. These wildflowers arrived on the scene in part through the limestone delivered from elsewhere for use in iron & steel foundries, in part blown as seed along the new railway system, in part from dumped ship’s ballast, in part escaped from local gardens, and more recently, planted shrubs around the station boundaries. As a botanist I notice each species that lives here, separately within the crowded and diverse community, but I wonder how many others who walk this way see what I see?

  • Flora Invasive Exotic Plants That Threaten Parks and Natural Areas
    EXPIRED INFORMATION Updated Information at: https://www.alexandriava.gov/hub.aspx?id=108269 ,QYDVLYH([RWLF3ODQWV7KDW7KUHDWHQ3DUNVDQG1DWXUDO$UHDVLQ$OH[DQGULD Invasive exotic plants have increasingly become a major threat to natural areas, parks, forests, and wetlands by displacing native species and wildlife and significantly degrading habitats. Today, they are considered perhaps the greatest threat to natural areas and global biodiversity, second only to habitat loss resulting from development and urbanization (Vitousek et al. 1996). The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Virginia Native Plant Society have identified 109 invasive exotic plants that threaten natural areas and lands in Virginia (VA- DCR 2009) and Swearingen et al. (2010) include 80 plants from a list of nearly 280 invasive exotic plant species documented within the mid-Atlantic region. Largely overlapping with these and other regional lists are 85 species that were documented for the City of Alexandria, Virginia during natural resource assessments and vegetation surveys by the City Dept. of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities (RPCA), Horticulture and Natural Resources Section. Exotic species are those that are not native to a particular place or habitat, as a result of human intervention. An invasive exotic plant is here defined as one that exhibits some degree of invasiveness, whether dominant and widespread in a particular habitat or landscape – regardless of the quality or condition of the site – or much less common but long-lived and extremely persistent in places where it occurs. The presence of invasive exotic plants is largely the result of soil and habitat disturbance, though many of these species are capable of eventually spreading from degraded areas into relatively undisturbed sites, such as interior forest.
