Oops, sorry about that. I'll take it off that mission. Ken: it really is very pretty. I grew up out west, so it's been fun for me to start learning the plants and animals out here. The trees are still boggling my mind a bit, but I'm working on learning them. Guess I'm lucky I'm not trying to learn trees in the tropics. ;)

Hello. We are going through organism groups and missions on the site. I noticed that your black walnut spotting is signed up for the Flowers of North America mission. While the tree does flower this isn't evident in the spotting. I only mention this because the mission page says "Show us what flowers are blooming near you". Otherwise it is a valuable plant spotting. Thanks for contributions to Project Noah!
