Welcome to my plant ID website. While you are out exploring natural areas this year, know what you're going to see first. Also check out the resource page for more info about each of the areas and the organizations that manage them. I've also included some reports on the serpentine barrens. You will get carried away reading all of the information. Make a list of plants or bring your smart device and go explore the outdoors.
Stay tuned, I will be adding more sites and photos as the year rolls on.
