 |
| Prickly Lettuce (giant dandelion-like plant), Lady's Thumb smartweed (pink seed heads), Giant Bulrush (blue-green stems in foreground), and Broadleaf Arrowhead (green background) |
 |
| Canada Goldenrod, an excellent pollinator plant and a late bloomer that helps bugs make it through early fall. It is also tolerant of human-disturbed landscapes. Unfortunately, it easily overpowers other native plants and is an invasive species in central and southeast Europe, south, southeast, and east Asia, and Oceania. |

| Some sort of grass |
 |
| Silk strucuture on a bluestem? |
 |
| Slippery Elm growing out of a boulder |

| Landscape |
 |
| That green stuff is Common Duckweed, a flowering plant consisting of a single, very small floating leaf that occasionally flowers. They look a lot like algae or cyanobacteria blooms |
 |
| Desiccated algae. After a heavy rain, the dock at the Palmisano Park lagoon got flooded, so they turned off the water feature for a few days. Once it was un-flooded, the algae became green again |
 |
| Beautiful |
 |
| Chinese Pennisetum |
 |
| Some silk structure (egg sac or pupa, probably) on a folding chair. What an amazing place to grow up. On a folding chair made of aluminum and plastic |
