Tuesday afternoon at SAFF

Asimina triloba: New leaf growth observed on a recently planted Rockfish River native pawpaw in the orchard at bottom of North Trail. This was beautiful to see. Hopefully it will be able to harden off before the first frost which typically occurs between October 21st to 31st in Buckingham.

We went over to St Andrews Forest Farm to water the pawpaws and take a walk.

Common puffball. Lycoperdon perlatum.

We watered each recently planted pawpaw and made sure they were looking good. We came around the waterway and approached the orchard from south.

We heard a blue jay calling and following us around the forest. We found this feather. We thought it looked more like an Eastern Blue bird feather than a Blue Jay.
Lactarius indigo is a milk cap with blue milky latex that oozes from the tissue when it is cut or broken. It’s edible and tasty. We find it near pines usually. This one is old and bug eaten.
Royal Crown bottle found along Three Pine Gully on the north side. Looks to be from the 1930s.

  3. Great pix and write ups. The pic of the soda bottle from the 1930s intrigued me. Who drank it? What was going on in their life all those years ago?

    Also, love blue jays 😎❤️
