Science of the day: Rhododendron (genus Rhododendron) also has a spring 2021 bud all set. Learn how to tell air temperature by “reading “ the Rhody.
Science of the day: Evidence of an invasive species. European water chestnut (Trapas natans) has been clogging waterways in New York and Massachusetts for more than 100 years. This is the seed pod with spikes sharp enough to penetrate shoes. It floats down the Hudson River and washes up on NJ beaches. I have found them from Island Beach to Waywayanda State Park. Found Yesterday 10/22 at Sandy Hook.
These are the buds for Spring 2021. They have the stems, leaves, flowers and seeds inside waiting to emerge. They are now set and will withstand snow, sleet, low temperatures and wind for months. A quiet miracle. Look for them before the deer enjoy eating them on the low branches
