--00000000000008b99806373d6741 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Folks, From 12:30 - 2:15 this afternoon, Lori Arent and I walked the grounds of the NC Museum of Art in western Raleigh, under mostly cloudy skies and a temperature about 83 degrees. There are many dozens of flower species in bloom in various places, from the edge of the parking lot, to "Sculpture Hill" and down to the pond area. Most are planted or seeded, and some species that normally bloom in fall are already flowering now (suggesting cultivars). However, there are no solid, planted stands like zinnias yet -- the flowers are scattered amid grasses and other vegetation. Here is our list: E. Tiger Swallowtail 2 Sleepy Orange 2 Orange Sulphur 1 Cabbage White 6 Gray Hairstreak 2 E. Tailed-Blue 1 Variegated Fritillary 8 lots of Common and Butterfly milkweeds in bloom, bit no Monarchs now American Lady 2 Common Buckeye 3 Pearl Crescent 18 Silver-spotted Skipper 1 Common Checkered-Skipper 2 Horace's Duskywing 1 male --00000000000008b99806373d6741 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Folks,</div><div><br></div><div>From 12:30 - 2:15 thi= s afternoon, Lori Arent and I walked the grounds of the NC Museum of Art in= western Raleigh, under mostly cloudy skies and a temperature about 83 degr= ees.=C2=A0 There are many dozens of flower species in bloom in various plac= es, from the edge of the parking lot, to "Sculpture Hill" and dow= n to the pond area.=C2=A0 Most are planted or seeded, and some species that= normally bloom in fall are already flowering now (suggesting cultivars).
