"I saw Clyde at WW [Wildwood Park] today and had "tag along" of about 20 min. He spread some wingstem seeds on one of the rails at the bird viewing area at the Park Rd. entrance and suggested that I find some yellow crownbeard ones and take a pic and label it." - Nancy Kent

One of my favorite sideline hobbies is learning the local names for the plants and animals of the region. I learned the name "stickweed" for wingstem and crownbeard when I was a kid. It's amazing to me how different looking the seeds of these two Verbesina species are.
