         I often make note of what plants are still in bloom on the 
first of November.  I didn't do that this year, but I am sure that it 
would have been a larger list than usual, as it has been so very mild 
and sunny this fall.  However yesterday and today (29/30 
November)  while walking to and from work I made note of plants still 
in bloom at the end of the month.  Most of these were in south-facing 
or sheltered spots, in disturbed soils, and were not abundant 
anywhere. If I had been able to check a wider variety of places I am 
sure that I would find more than this, but I was limited by the urban 
habitats I was in.

Achillea millefolium*           Yarrow
Aster lateriflorus              Calico Aster
Aster novi-belgii               New York Aster
Daucus carota*          Queen Anne's Lace
Galinsoga quadriradiata*        Quickweed
Leontodon autumnalis*           Fall Dandelion
Lepidium densiflorum*           Pepper Grass
Matricaria matricarioides*      Pineapple Weed
Medicago lupulina*              Black Medick
Senecio vulgaris*               Common Groundsel
Senecio viscosus*               Clammy Groundsel
Taraxacum officinale*           Common Dandelion
Trifolium pratense*             Red Clover
Trifolium repens*               White 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.

         Cheers,
