Are You Ready to Botanize – 2020?!

Posted on May 8, 2020 by WCBC

Will you be ready for our field trips (if we ever get to do any)? We can help! This presentation will  prepare you for some of the plants you might encounter during the next few months. If you find any mistakes, send us an email at wcbotanicalclub@gmail.com.

The slide show starts automatically and alternates pictures of 2 unnamed plants followed by the same pictures with the plant names. You can pause the show at any time to look more closely at the pictures and then continue by clicking the play button or just let it run continuously and enjoy the show.

Jones Farm Scout – April 2020

Posted on April 24, 2020 by WCBC

“Wish you were here to enjoy walking the trails with me. These are pictures of plants that I would be showing you if we were physically together. Most of the plants I included are currently in bloom, but I also added a few that are in leaf or bud. And I included a shot of Shortia – though it is no longer blooming – just because I like the picture. I took many of these pictures years ago, but each year it’s like seeing the plant for the first time, and I take another picture. I hope that our next walk together is a physical one.” Betty
