Report
Photo at the start of the walk by Beebe Lake - Norm Trigoboff, photographer.
Despite the intermittant rain, we identified dozens of plants in bloom. Most of these were different from those we saw blooming in May. We had a chance to use Arieh's latest asteraceae key for the Finger Lakes region, and it was good practice to clarify teminology.
