AVALON in October: Another piece in the kaleidoscope that was similar but different: seaside goldenrod.
There are a blue-dozen (not an official term) species of goldenrod. This one has adapted to living in the salty air of oceanfront property. Good move.
"Solidago sempervirens" is a maritime wildflower found along the Atlantic seaboard. As you might suspect, it’s highly tolerant of both saline soils and salt spray, and as we found out, is usually found growing on coastal dunes and in salt marshes.
Oh to be so lucky to live in sight of the ocean!
