My World: Native Plant Reserve
My World is a meme played by people all over the planet. For more information and to see other places and wonders, visit My World.
I took a trip down to the Native Plant Reserve in Highland Park last week. And when I say “down”, one does go down: Highland Park is on a little hill, and the Native Plant Reserve is down by the Raritan River. It looks bare now, but in the spring many new buds will open up.
In the spring I’ll come back and photograph the little signs and their accompanying plants.
This tree looks proud. The little sign below says it is a white oak.
More about the Native Plant Reserve.

We have live oaks and laurel oaks down here in south Florida. And speaking of seasons, we just had our first day of fall down here in south Florida: average night time lows dropped below 60 degrees.
