Abby recently sent me the quote and picture of an engraving below, which reminded her of her first summer of monitoring with Tony and me.  I liked them so much that I created a poster out of them...

Solidago sempervirens

For more information on this species and others that grow in the salty areas along our highways, see my recent post at Through Handlens and Binoculars.
