Plants Nature Walk - Hammond Pond Reservation

On this nature walk, I traveled again to Hammond Pond Reservation. I began my walk around 5:15pm under sunny and somewhat warm conditions. The first organism I identified was a Ciliate Hoarmoss, a nonvascular moss, growing on a rock wall. Next, I came across a Great Rhododendron plant which, although an angiosperm, had not yet flowered. I also came across a Common Yew bushel that was only about 5 feet in height. That being said, I learned that some Common Yew trees can grow up to 60 feet. Afterwards, I identified a group of Shrub Yellowroot plants which ranged in color from red to to green. Finally, I found a Hay-scented Fern, which is a common seedless vascular plant in the area. In general, there was a wide variety of plants to observe and, in particular, many different angiosperm trees.
