Botanizing the Neighborhood

Illus. of Corn Gromwell from my notebook.


One one of the side streets around the neighborhood I spotted several flowering plant in this one stretch of roadside turf.  The flowers are only a few mm wide and so I had to use my new microscope and 15X loupe to be able to draw it.  Neat part about modern botanizing is that you can record it's local with GPS coordinates.  Also, you can sometimes get a bird's eye few via satillite or arial imaging.  I found that once you can narrow the plant to it's family it is much easier to ID the species using the internet.

Here is a google image of the location.
Down the street (N. Norfolk) is Shangri la
