Thanks Tour de Fleurers

Special thanks to those who attended the Tour de Fleur along Ten Mile Creek Greenway last Saturday. The walk was organized by Kathleen Gibi, with the city parks and rec, and Ellen Blasius with the county parks and rec.

Highlights were several oddities: Florida blue lettuce, fogfruit, green passionflower, heal-all, Virginia buttonweed and boneset.

The summer cicadas were singing and Kathleen managed to catch a small treefrog for all to see. 

Thanks, Kathleen and Ellen.
