September may be coming to a close, but John Latimer – KAXE's staff phenologist – is still finding plenty of wildflowers. On his list for this week were the flat-topped aster, red clover, white campion, silvery cinquefoil, tansy, purple-stemmed asters and hoary alyssum. Get out and gather a wild bouquet while you can!
John began the phenology report with a tribute to a longtime phenologist and good friend, Ed Dallas, who passed away recently. Ed was a frequent contributor to the phenology show. He will be missed.
You can send a note to Ed’s wife, Julie Dallas, at this address;
