AAAAAquarius in NOLA
After trudging through a thorough plant tour through the Woodlands Trail and Park, we rendezvoused at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. We were extremely privileged to see THE Deacon John and the Ivory’s. Although the music was electric and the spirit of jazz was in the air, there was no denying that our exhaustion was palpable. But alas, as the night dwindled into twilight, the music took a turn. What started as a jazz concerto developed into a rock and roll extravaganza! Oh what a night!
found in the Adoxaceae family. It had been during the half-way point when our tour-guide/botanist had gotten stuck in deceptively deep wet soil, which was par for the course as it had been raining. The whole point of the tour was to get us more familiar the plants, whether that be invasive or native ones, in order to prepare for transect surveying for the Woodland Conservancy.
