What a nice pistil you have

Seashore Mallow (Kosteletzkya Virginica)

What's that?

A Seashore Mallow, Jan H. identified.  Marilyn L. shot a photo. Jo M. and I named some parts of the plant. That is what happens when you walk along a trail with classmates from a Master Naturalist class.

We were at the Baytown Nature Center where the showy basket flowers that have been dominating the trails are going to seed, and the browning plants now provide a backdrop that allows other bloomers to get some attention.

Can you name that pink morning glory in the ditch? It's a Saltmarsh Morning Glory ("Ipomoea sagittata"). -- Lana b.
