ROADSIDE BOUQUETS -- WHERE THE WILDFLOWERS ARE. Two friends. One a botanist. The other a consultant with a flexible schedule and an interest in wildflowers and flower arranging. We collect and preserve specimens of flowering plants. We find them in vacant lots, roadside ditches, culverts, swamps, woods, hillsides and fields. Along the way we explore the small towns of America. And arrange some flowers to brighten the truck interior or leave behind to say thanks.

Revised departure - Friday morning for sure or as sure as I can be
We will leave on Friday. Daniel has an appointment for us to visit the herbarium at the Academy of Natural Science in Philadelphia. Herbariums contain metal cabinets full of preserved and mounted plant speciments, such as are seen elsewhere in this blog. They are not usually visited by the public (for obvious reasons) and are really storage and research (vs. display) facilities.
