Incredible CT plant website!

[Karen McNulty]

Thanks John, this will help tremendously when assisting students this year.
I was sorry to see so many plants on the endangered list, especially my
favorite, dew drop. Karen McNulty, Children's Services,  Avon Free Public

I just came across a great plant resource for CT  and thought I'd pass it on
to those of you who aren't aware of it.  I was looking up Cassia nictitans
to see if it was host to anything beside Little Yellows and Cloudless
Sulphurs when google brought me the the CT Botanical Society site.

It has hundreds of native plants with high quality photos and information.
I have never seen such a comprehensive and easy to navigate site on the
flora.  I sound like a pitchman here, but they set up an interesting way to
navigate through the plants.  You have the choice to go the the next plant
by color, family, or rarity. Or you go the the field guide section.

Go to http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/index.html

And on the butterfly front -

observing an explosion of Crossline Skippers and Tiger Swallowtails in the
yard over the last few days.

Best -

John
