#WellsME - Native #NewEngland #Shrubs
Saturday, October 4, 2025,
10:30am – 1:00pm"Join Boot Boutwell to explore the world of native New England shrubs in autumn!
"Shrubs are a key part of New England landscapes. This program will take a close look at about ten common native New England shrubs, such as high bush blueberry, silky dogwood, sheep laurel, meadowsweet and steeplebush as well as a few non-native invasive shrubs. The program will focus on plant identification as well as fun and interesting #NaturalHistory. We’ll see a plant which colonial Americans used to make candles, a plant whose fruit sea captains used to bring on long voyages to help prevent scurvy, and a plant which the Chippewa used to restore balance in their lives. And as winter is coming and the leaves are going, we’ll also consider some winter identification characteristics. Children ages 10 and up are welcome to register if accompanied by an adult."
Please note: Program fee does not include site admission fee.

Silver #cockscomb - very similar to amaranth.
Originally native to #India - it was saved from extinction through #cultivation because of its religious significance. #Indian , #Burmese & #Chinese gardeners usually plant them by temples.Cockscomb is an #EdiblePlant & a pretty #grain alternative. Often consumed in southern #Nigeria, #Benin , #Congo & #Indonesia. Young stems & flowers are #edible. Seeds are also edible are referred to as #pseudocereals.

Stormy Weather is a beautiful #ClimberRose with large dark purple blooms & centers with golden-yellow stamens. As she ages, her colour fades to a gentle lavender. These cupped to flat blooms are produced in clusters & emit a spicy #fragrance. Stormy Weather will show more purple-blue tones in cooler weather.

#PacificRhododendron aka #CaliforniaRosebay, is native to coastal #PacificNorthwest areas, from California to British Columbia. It's the #StateFlower of #WashingtonState. They usually produce pink to peach coloured flowers.
It's found growing in the wilds of coastal forest areas. It's been cultivated into gardens here too. You can grow them from cuttings, taken from wild or ask for cuttings from local cultivated gardens.
