Street Seens

Spring 2006

I like these ‘mirages’ where freighters seem to be parked on local streets

	Oops
	Looks like someone got the wrong ingredients --- even if it was a pesticide – went over board – all those browned areas

	Wild Flowers
	Dandelions and skunk cabbage are some of PR’s showiest spring flowers --- even the (elsewhere) dreaded weed Equisetum is just diversity of the spring season (the fruiting stem dies off quickly after releasing spores and is replaced by vegetative green stems)

Retrospect: Do Dandelions bloom ‘same time’ every year or dependant on weather (e.g., > soil temperature) In 2005; and in 2004 ----	While ‘Horsetail’ a plague for some gardeners – provides interesting sign of spring; -- -- previous look up close:
	Here is a quick guide I did in 2000 which will update as season progresses --- and April 2000 (earlier spring that year)
