Highlands Chapter April Meeting:  Wildflower Identification

April in the Ozarks is the time when many plants of forest and field break out their colors to show off who they are.  Fields may be a carpet of yellow or purple, and forest floors come to life with a great variety of blossoms.  A plant in bloom is not only beautiful but it’s the best time to identify them.  So, for our April 9th meeting we are focusing on wildflowers and their identification.

Following are meeting details:

Speaker and Topic:  Sue Hubbard, Ozark Chapter President, Arkansas Native Plant Society

• “Wildflower Identification”
• Sue grew up in England but spent most of her adult life in California primarily in San Francisco and the Monterey area. She obtained a degree in Biology at San Francisco State and worked on riparian restoration projects before spending 2 decades with the Bureau of Land Management at the former Fort Ord military base near Monterey. There she supervised a crew that controlled invasive plants. While in the Monterey area she was active with the local chapter of the California Native Plant Society leading wildflower hikes and, for many years, giving popular talks on wildflower identification during the chapter’s annual wildflower show. She retired and moved to Eureka Springs seven years ago where she has continued her passion for native plants.

Hope to see you Thursday, April 9th.   Arrive between 6:30 and 7:00pm.

Happy trails,

Peggy Bulla
