--=====================_2397656==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 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.
