I was back at home this Sunday, so I decided that the wooded areas surrounding my old elementary school would offer a diversity of plants to observe. I went in the late afternoon, when the sun imparted a pleasant glow to the variously colored leaves of many trees. Most of these I can no longer remember how to identify from their leaves, but I took a few observations of them and hope they will be identified. I also observed moss and pine, but I had difficulty finding seedless vascular plants in this area. I noticed that the woods in Chestnut Hill have more ferns than the ones where I live, but i don't know what can account for this apparent regional difference; perhaps it was just by chance that I saw none today.
