The chestnuts on the tree on Rte 519 are swelling in their prickly, looking-like-a-hedgehog husks!

Flowers Around Town
in September 2024
It started in the days of covid-19. Everyone was told to sequester at home. For me, a difficult part of the restrictions meant I could no longer go to visit gardens. Very sad. To make me feel better, Paul would drive me around town to look for flowers in people's yards. I did my best to photograph out the car's window, with an occasional escape out the door for an image while huddled against the car. Now vaccinated (multiple times, in the years since) I am still watching for flowers in other gardens. But now I can comfortably get out of the car and even cross the street.

The weather is rather dry and the horse chestnut on Ridge Road is dropping its leaves.
5 September
A sunny field of flowers! Fortunately there was a red light at the junction of Route 12 and
Route 579 so I was able to make the turn, find a place to park, and take these pictures.
Tick seed, Bidens aristosa. This grand display is made by a native, and it is annual too.
Lovely flowers on a 3 to 5 foot tall plant that is thriving without any care.
Along Route 12 near the old Ubel's Farm Stand I found a a stand of goldenrod, Solidago sp.
With traffic zipping by I had to just pull over, lower the passenger window, and photograph
as I sat in the driver's seat. No idea what this flower might be. Maybe Lythrum salicaria?
Doesn't look quite right. Close to the junction of Pittstown Road and Route 12.
