   There are no Jack in the Pulpit plants at the Frog Pond.&#160; I meant to write Skunk Cabbage!&#160;&#160; They have a somewhat similar&#160; floral arrangement, i.e.&#160; long spadix contained within a purplish spathe, and sometimes I get them mixed up ...

    There have&#160; been a number of deliberate introductions of plants at the Frog Pond over the years, by enthusiastic horticulturalists/botanizers.

    The most obvious are the rhododendrons, a la Pine Grove Park in Milton, Queen&#39;s County http://www.novascotia.com/see-do/outdoor-activities/pine-grove-park/1722

    However I have also observed some less conspicuous plants, including Jack in the Pulpit.

    Buttonbush is one I haven&#39;t seen yet, so good spotting, Burkhard.

    <br/>&#62; Thank you, Fred. 
    <br/>&#62; 
    <br/>&#62; Buttonbush does not occur naturally around Halifax. 
    <br/>&#62; It was planted in Point Pleasant Park after Hurricane Juan. 
    <br/>&#62; Maybe it spread from there.

    <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; this Sunday, while walking around the Frog Pond in Halifax&#39; Dingle Park, 
    <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; I came across a plant I am not familiar with. It grew at the edge of one 
    <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; of the wetlands.
