Find out during Ask a Curator chat
We did a late March Ask a Curator hour. For those of you who missed it, there will be aTwitter Thursday April 16. This a live chat opportunity for you who use Twitter. My handle is@NovaScotiaFlora. Feel free to join us with comments and questions, images of spring flowers and general botanical silliness.
Last month we asked you if anyone had seen Coltsfoot flowering yet. As not even roadsides were visible, we had few answers. So a small request: please check in April 16 10-12 if you see these yellow flowers of spring along the roads and sidewalks where you live.
We asked you to tell us the name of our provincial wildflower. Some of you named the Mayflower, Epigaea repens. Absolutely! This delicately fragrant vining plant has not yet been reported in Nova Scotia. Or has it? Tweet us and let us know if you have seen it.
Another participant posted two beautiful images of mushrooms. One was the honey mushroom, a wonderful edible that takes care and practice to identify. I have to say, mushroom identification is not my strength, but I can probably find someone who can help us with those.
I love to keep a couple of “did you know” type questions at the ready. Last month’s of course related to the elusive coltsfoot. So, did you know what branded product contained coltsfoot?
Please mark April 16, 10-12ADT and sign in to twitter.com Post using @NovaScotiaFlora or#NSBotany and join the conversation.
