A deciduous tree that is approximately 14 meters tall and is in fruit. Tree tag reads 865.
25m tall tree, currently in fruit. Twigs and seed husk exuding a strong odor. Fruit is a nut surrounded by a large, dense and continuous husk with a rough-ish surface texture, (currently green coloration). Leaves of this individual are pinnately compound in alternate arrangement.
Pleasant smelling plant extending around 5 feet tall, up the fence line. Soil was still slightly moist from a previous rain. This area holds water well. The naturally forested, weedy area was surrounded by many other shrubs and trees.
The plant had yellow and white flowers with opposite, simple oval leaves.
Woody shrub that is 4+ meters in height. No flowers are present on the shrub at this time, but the fruits are small, spherical berries that are bright red in color.
A short herbaceous plant, contains 3 mottled leaves with a pale underside, flowers contain 3 petals, 3 sepals and 6 stamens
This plant grows to about 30–60 cm (12–24 in) high, with a maximum of 1 m (3 ft 3 in). The stem is ribbed and hairless, branched at the base. It has a basal rosettes of shiny, dark green leaves. The basal leaves are stalked and lyre-pinnatifid, that is with a large terminal lobe and smaller lower lobes.
Green, widespread leaves. Found in a cluster, with plant heights ranging from 4 inches to 2.5 feet. Herbaceous.
Approximately 1.5 meters tall, very green stems and leaves, spikelets green to red/purple.
Herbaceous; parallel veined; inflorescence subtended by bracts; one seeded achene fruit; stalk spongy with internal air cavities.
Herbacious plant growing at water's edge. Flowers have 5 tepals that are light pink to white. Achenes are 2-3mm, triangluar in cross section, and enclosed by tepals. Ocreae present at nodes. Ocreolae with cilia.
Oblong seed capsules. Stems have watery sap.
Small tree,flowers appearing small and white in early spring.
Herbaceous single stalked plant, bright yellow flower, approx. 25 cm tall
Flowering dogwood is a small deciduous tree growing to 10 m high, often wider than it is tall when mature, with a trunk diameter of up to 30 cm. A 10-year-old tree will stand about 5 m (16 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, simple, ovate, 6–13 cm (2.4–5.1 in) long and 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) broad, with an apparently entire margin; they turn a red-brown in fall. The flowers are individually small and inconspicuous, with four greenish-yellow bracts 4 mm long. Around 20 flowers are produced in a dense, rounded, umbel-shaped inflorescence, or flower-head, 1–2 cm in diameter. The flower-head is surrounded by four conspicuous large white, pink or red "petals" (actually bracts), each bract 3 cm (1.2 in) long and 2.5 cm (0.98 in) broad, rounded, and often with a distinct notch at the apex. The flowers are bisexual. When in the wild they can typically be found at the forest edge and frequently on dry ridges. While most of the wild trees have white bracts, some selected cultivars of this tree also have pink bracts, some even almost a true red. They typically flower in early April in the southern part of their range, to late April or early May in northern and high altitude areas.
