PLANT REPORT


Yesterday we visited Bartram's Garden to mill through their annual spring native plant sale, and to attend a lecture on the flower Oenothera Grandiflora, a nocturnally flowering plant discovered by William Bartram during his travels outside of present-day Mobile.

Upon arriving, we were delighted to be presented with a rather handsome young specimen of Franklinia, as well as a potted specimen of Oenothera. The staff were also kind enough to dig up for us a foam flower from the bed just outside the Bartram House's door, which was a special thrill.

Next week: we're embarking on a tour of the Pine Barrens!
