The venue for today’s foray took place in Oldtown Elkridge and in area of the nearby Thomas Viaduct (the world’s oldest multiple arched stone railway viaduct still in use from the early 19th century). Below, you can see some of the plants we found on this foray. New plants to my lifetime list include Yellow Groove Bamboo and the Drooping Star of Bethlehem.
