[at-l] Species Identification Guides

[ellen at clinic.net (Bob C.)]

Among my primary reasons for going to Georgia in 1993 was to see the southern
Appalachians and the trees and plants of a region I had never seen. To my
surprise many of the things I saw on the high ridges were the things I also see
along midcoast Maine and even more surprising they seemed to leaf out or bloom
about the same time.

 I had figured going to Georgia in April would be akin to going to Florida in
 January. It wasn't. There were a few exotic things I had never seen before, but
 mostly it was like staying home -- both in terms of vegetation and
 temperatures.

 BTW, that's why I didn't carry my heavier 20 degree sleeping bag, and why I had
 to augment my 50 degree bag liner with my puffy down jacket.

 And yes. If you can post some flower and tree keys, I'd love to experiment with
 them.
