Index of Subjects Hi all incl Jane I posted this quite a while ago, but I think I submitted it to the group under an email address I no longer use for naturens . It must have been in some sort of queue and has now been allowed to be re circulated as I think I did submit it under both address. Last Wed. Oct 19, I could see from a distance through binoculars that the plant was still in flower. I don't know if the wildflower society had a listserve or not.

I, too, like to see the flora posts. I can't go to the Wild Flora meetings because of a scheduling conflict. Do they have a separate listserve? > Jane Schlosberg > p.s.

I have just keyed it out to be Pink Corydalis (Corydalis sempervirens). In the old "The Flora of Nova Scotia" the range map does not have it pictured for Pictou Co and the revised issue by Zinck describes it as "scattered throughout the province, except along the Northumberland Strait". It thus is not overly common to this area. > Since it was growing in gravelled area around the perimeter of the turbine it is possible the seed arrived with fill hauled in from elsewhere, but there are quarries within a couple km, so I assume the fill came from nearby and that the conditions were right for the seeds to germinate. Zinck (Munro) says the plant is most noticeable on newly burnt land (during first year) and in freshly cleared areas where it grows from seeds that have lain dormant. > The leaves have the look of Dutchman's-breeches and the plant was in flower. The flower is a quite striking irregular flower, pink with a yellow tip and a bit more than a cm long. > Interestingly, the name Corydalis is Ancient Greek for the Crested Lark. While looking up,the plant I noted that Marian Zinck (Munro) had signed my copy of her book in Oct 2000 and in her noted had said "Now I want to see some plants on Nature NS" and thus this post. Maybe some more plant discussion might occur. > Cheers > Ken > > Sent from my iPad > >
