which_chickI want a particular, specific wildflower calendar. One for my particular locale (which lags the surrounding area by about a week and a half. Regular readers are aware more or less that I live in a valley. It's a valley with bottom elevation (surface of the lake) at 1323. Relative to the surrounding places, it is still pretty high up. Breezewood is about 1275. Wells Tannery is 1230 feet. It's also a fairly narrow valley, so gets less sunshine. This is why my spring green-up is later than everyone else's. It's also about a third of why this ground failed utterly as "farmland". (Shitty soil, high water table on the flat parts are the other two thirds of why.)
This thing here, in a reddish-purple more suitable for a sex toy (and the little fringe detail is NOT HELPING) is a fringed polygala (Polygala paucifolia). An alternative name for these is gaywings. No. Fringed polygala. Anyway, it's a springtime wildflower in these parts, appearing shortly before the dogwoods are at their best and well after serviceberries.
I think a box-n-whiskers plot thing would best show the data I want to show. I will see about data collection (which will take a number of years).
