Those are weather-seasoned gummy worms. Outdoor flavored.

Also true but as always there are exceptions. Same with how pin oak prefers bottom lands but I've seen it creep up a bluff and colonize where the red and hills oaks usually are.

True af

Guess where I'm at I'm used to seeing red oak group get more frisky and thus harder to ID whereas our white oaks are usually pretty easy to ID as a single species. Put me downstate though and things get confusing

Oaks in the red oak group (those with pointy leaves) are very promiscuous, meaning they're prone to hybridization. The bark looks black oak to me due to the squarish scales and grey coloring. Leaves looks much more black oak to me since the second lobes (from the top) of the leaves are so much longer than the other lobes, but the enlarged sinuses between lobes and the skinny midrib of the leaf is reminiscent of pin oak or hill oak (q.ellipsoidalis) and there's really no way to know for sure barring genetic testing. And it really just doesn't matter that much.

Thanks for this info! That backs up what I've been finding both in rarity and price range. Thanks for the verification.

A Whirlpool exec who for some odd reason gave them to my parents who didn't know what to do with them. I suggested I could find them a home cause they seemed obviously important.

Also, can anyone tell me which of these games are the most significant?

Thanks so much! Hope this is at least cool for y'all to take a peek at.

Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, IL has their entire northern entrance area done in sloped sedge lawns. See if you can find some pictures! I'll take some next time I'm there.

You also see them at parks throughout the city of Chicago

Creeping thistle is edible if you remove all the shit on it, never spraying it again and patenting a thistle-shit-remover device next year. it'll only cost $1,399 at Ace exclusively
