    Hello Barbara,
    I currently research the Lake Michigan flora, specifically for Carex from Lake County, Illinois, north to Door County. My husband Jim, also a retired teacher, accompanies me and takes the gps info on his camera that I include in my reports. The reports are a condition of my research allowing me to collect culms, no full plants, to scan or image, then send them to herbaria. My photos are on the Robert Freckmann Herbarium website. I work with macro-lens and microscope, Jim with landscape.
    We enjoy the coastal flora, as I see you do too. Regards, Linda Curtis

      Here’s a link to the herbarium Linda cites: http://wisplants.uwsp.edu/index.html

      Linda — can you give us links to sites that might help Lake Michigan lovers identify the flora growing along the lake?

It was autumn in the garden and all the grim stuff that happens as winter sets in — death, rot, shrivel and retreat — made for a thing of beauty. Read more.
