This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.
Nice photos! Cardinal flower and the great lobelia--I always think of these two as basically the same plant, but optimized for hummingbirds on one hand and bees, which prefer blue, on the other. While other creatures can plunder its nectar, only hummingbirds can pollinate the cardinal flower, making its presence proof positive of the presence of hummingbirds.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I was hoping you would let me know what these were.
