Note – the scientific name for the agrimony is not Eupatorium rotundifolium, likely an oversight from copy/paste of the previous added species. Unrelated – the Crockford-Pigeon area is wonderful, there are some nice Trillium in the spring, such as large patches of T. decumbens. But there is also a small patch of T. lancifolium in a very unlikely spot, near Blue Hole, do you happen to know the history of that population – did someone plant it?
Thanks, Ed! My impression is that T. lancifolium population near the Blue Hole is natural. I’ve spoken to a couple of folks who have botanized the area for many years, and they didn’t mention anyone planting them.
