Comments (148)Hi everyone, Well, I am double posting this in 2 forums - I hope nobody minds. As promised, here I am posting about what in the world I've been doing all summer while traveling to & fro Wisconsin. As some of you already know, I work with fish-eating birds: cormorants, pelicans, herons, egrets, gulls, wood storks, etc. My husband and I have been working in Wisconsin for the past 3 years, but we also regularly work in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Ontario, and a few other places. Yes, we are a husband + wife team, working together out of the same office. Many people are surprised that we work together, but it is great. We make a fantastic team, and are often at our best under challenging field conditions. Great minds think alike, and being dear friends & in love sure helps too. (ok, enough with the mushy stuff). So now for a few photos from the vegetation surveys we did this month. Background: We are working on remote islands in Lake Michigan, around the Door Co. Peninsula area. All the islands have nesting double-crested cormorants and herring gulls. Some also have nesting Am. white pelicans and Canada geese. Back in April, we put up some 6 ft x 6 ft pens (we call them exclosures) to exclude the cormorants because they damage vegetation with their nesting activities (too much POOP!). So then we went back in August to catalog everything that grew in the pens, by plant species, and weighed it to also determine biomass. That meant breaking out the field guides, studying up on botany and the flora of Wisconsin, and bringing the plant presses for species we couldn't identify on the island. We compareed the exclosure plots to some "control" plots, which had nothing but 4 wooden stakes at the corners. We had 45 plots to do on 3 islands, plus another 3 islands down by the city of Green Bay that we did simple vegetation surveys on (no pens). It was alot of work, but very interesting. The bottom line: there are lots of nonnative species on those islands, like motherwort, catnip, pigweed, common mallow, stinging nettle and sow thistle. The native vegetation was primarily lambsquarter and smartweed species. Almost done clipping this 1-meter plot: Looking for small plants beneath the lambsquarter The finished, sampled 1-meter subplot Who would even know what this was?!?! I saved seeds to winter sow and see if I can't figure it out. The very last veg plot to measure. You can tell, because we look so happy! A friend found crawling across the plant press The stinging nettle I hacked through to make us a nice trail to get to the center of the island. At least its not poison ivy! Ok, that's all for now. Have a great evening. Katie (heh - I've been working on this post for days!)...See MoreLOOKING for: Oh my Lord.. Please let someone see this in time!!
Comments (4)This is from oneforthetable.com: MamaÂs Famous Sweet Potato Casserole Bake 8 large sweet potatoes in the oven for one hour at 350 degrees. Be sure to lather the skins in olive oil before baking so the skins will slip right off. Let the potatoes cool then peel the skins and mash the potatoes in a big bowl. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 cups of evaporated milk and 3 eggs. Add 1 cup of melted butter. Mix all the ingredients with a mixer until you have a smooth liquid texture. Pour the liquid mix over the mashed potatoes. Add raisins as desired. Stir. Pour your masterpiece into a buttered casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until itÂs firm in the middle. Remove from oven. Add an entire bag of miniature marshmallows on top of the casserole. Put the casserole back in the oven to brown the marshmallows. Be very careful not to burn the marshmallows. Remove form oven and enjoy immediately. Note: If you are taking this dish to someoneÂs house do not do the marshmallows at home. Instead, add them at the last minute and brown them in their oven right before serving....See MoreThose wonderful "W" daylilies, let's see them!
Comments (29)Thanks for the information on Richard Norris updating his website Cindy. Your Pigment of Imagination under the "P's" is still rattling around in my brain. I just wish I had more room. Your picture of Web Of Intrigue is sure pretty. I like the soft yellow background color in particular....Nan: I like that color combination on Wickedly Wild and Wonderful. Good form and edge on it too.....Karen: Woodside Amethyst is nice also. Really a lot of great W's.....Maryl...See Moredaylilybedmaker

8 years agoOlallie Autumn Gold. Last one to bloom every year: x-x-late!
Orchid Corsage also very late, though for me always shorter than it should be.
Orange Velvet. Reliable, some years a great show.
Only One. Does ok, but a small flower and it just doesn't grab me. Scheduled to go when I get a replacement.

8 years agoI have more O's than I though I did. I will have to put these in two entries.
Ocean Depths was new last year and here it is still in a pot. It is a diploid, which we don't grow many of, but this is a club plant we are babysitting for 3 years.
Oceans Eleven is a small flower and the scapes are short, but it outdid itself last summer.
Off to the Races has gotten covered in weeds so it hasn't been able to show its true potential.
The first couple of years I was ready to dig up and throw away Oktoberfest, but in its third season it really began to perform.
Old Time Memories has a large bright flower.
On the Lookout is a small flowered variety that is registered as cream with a rose red eye. I don't call that eye rose red.
On Your Knees You Will Find Him is a nice toothy variety, but it won't set seeds for me.
We lost Open My Eyes, but I don't know if it was the weather or voles. We decided not to replace it because it is so short. We decided that Sam Abell is similar in color, but a better plant.
We just planted Orange Blossom Trail last summer. This picture was taken in Florida. Bob came back with a long list of orange daylilies he wanted to try after visiting Dan Trimmer's place.
Orange Firecat has a large flat bloom. It produced many proliferations last year. I hope they all make it through the winter.
I have a couple more to post.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoOrange Splash is new to the garden.
Orchids and Gold is short in our climate but it does have a beautiful edge.
Outrageous is one I really don't like. I don't like the form and I think the color is harsh. Bob, however, loves it.
