Re: Local Plants for ID

Wow those are great Dave!When can we go collecting?

Dave nice finds . The liverwort and moss look interesting. The Saururus crenuus in the second pic is also a good aquatic plant. I found some of that last week at the Armand Bayou Nature Center.

Dave, I think I have an ID on this, Pallavicinia lyellii
Not positive though. The samples that we collected still looks promising for sumberged growth.

That looks nice. When are you guys heading out again?

Just whenever. My brother works up in Nacogdoches, and this place is about 20 minutes from his house. He has to be on official duty to take us there as an escort, but I'll take that kind of "Wetland Training" all year long.

We don't have any plans to go anytime soon, but we can go pretty much anytime you want. I think the forest is booked up during hunting season, but I can find out if you have a date in mind.

Dave, you think it would be possible to make a trip there before it gets too cold?

 

[HoustonFishFanatic]

HAHA! (He's being serious though, we really did go in the cold rain ALL DAY and hicked back through thick briars/vines/etc...at least we had hot fajitas waiting for us afterwards ). Next time I'll bring some flagging so we keep our original trail.

I talk to mudboots and he said we can "right now", or this coming Monday, next Friday, and pretty much any Mon or Fri thereafter. So, pick a date and we'll work it out. And keep an eye on weather so we can use our cameras next time.

Rain, Cold, Heat does not worry me much.........when it comes to collecting.
I have this Friday off. The next one will be Nov 6th.
