Comments:

The Brevipetala (Chinese) Witch Hazel in the RBG Woodland Garden had the most colour this past week but was not quite in bloom.
Next Saturday is our annual mid-winter wild flower stalks and seed pod walk at the Arboretum. I don't expect any flowers in bloom there but who knows what we will find with lots of eyes looking.

Flowers blooming during the third January week:

English Names
* = Not Native Latin Names

Chickweed, Common * Stellaria media

Groundsel, Common * Senecio vulgaris

Sunday Afternoon Walks

Sunday wild flower walks are over for the season.

Our next wild flower walk is on Saturday, January 30, 2010, 1:30 p.m at the RBG Arboretum. We will attempt to identify plants by stems and seedpods and also look for anything still blooming i.e. Witch Hazels.
