The latter is a new one for me for Pictou Co. Dr. Phil had = discovered some last year at this time in the Three Brooks area in the = salt marsh near the Weirs gut bridge. I was not able to find any in this = location yesterday. I extended my search area a few kilometres and I did = discover a nice group along the marsh along the Otter Rd.in 2 places. It = was not necessary to go into the marsh as they were on plants such as = goldenrod and meadowsweet in the ditch or road shoulder.
