Word Trix: Autumn White Vervain

Friday, September 24, 2010

White Vervain in Autumn. I thought it pretty in summer, but think these autumn-dried sprigs even more spectacular.

Alice Audrey said...: They look like something my mother would use in one of her flower arrangements. How do you know all this horticulture stuff? Been reading the little plaques?; Monday, September 27, 2010 9:34:00 AM
Heather said...: Oddly, there are no little plaques in the Grady Tract section as there are the main body of the Arboretum. I have, however, taken a few of their guided walks this year. There's an effigy mounds one coming up this month I hope to get to.; Monday, September 27, 2010 11:38:00 AM
Alice Audrey said...: That could be cool. The biggest problem with mounds, though is that it's hard to get a really good shot of them.; Tuesday, September 28, 2010 10:40:00 AM
Heather said...: Yeah, effigy mounds are interesting, but don't make for good photo ops unless you have the means for aerial photography. Which I don't. However, I thought the accompanying lecture might make it worth while.

And shoot--I thought that walk was in October but just checked my calendar and see that one is actually in mid-November. So, we'll see what the weather is like that day before committing. There are other walks coming up in October, though.; Tuesday, September 28, 2010 11:38:00 AM
