October 12, 2007 By Jimmie Quick Leave a Comment

This week, we focused on plants in our apartment complex, particularly the cassia surattensis. I found some plant books locally, and although I can’t read much of the Chinese, I can look for the pictures that match our plant and search the Latin name on the Internet.

We had our nature walk Tuesday afternoon. It was mainly plants and bugs again since we stayed in our apartment complex. But we were pleased to identify a tree — the hornbeam also called blue beech.  Actually, I think it is the Chinese beech (imagine that!). But I can’t find a lot about the Chinese […]
