Rough Earth Snake (Virginia striatula)
13 March 2016
Avondale Park
Denton, Denton County, Texas
Observed a small Rough Earth Snake measuring between 6-7 inches in length next to Avondale Park. It looked like it had had some encounters with unknown forces by the marks on its dorsal skin but the abrasions did not impair it apparently or had not torn through past its surface skin. Eventually it went off into the moist leaf litter next to where it was observed.

Genus CorydalisObserver

I am not sure what type of Corydalis species this is it. It all looks like Scrambled eggs to me. These things are rather interesting. This is the second Corydalis I have seen the first one I saw was at the Fort Worth Nature Center. It was pretty cool to see a second one. They were not as many as there were at the FWNC&R but this place had a few. I got sight of these when we were heading back to the car. This stuff is very interesting to observe and document. It is strange looking to me.

Carolina Anemone (Anemone caroliniana)Observer
kimberlietxDescription
I found this patch of beautiful deep purple-blue anemones. 17 to 20 petals on single flowers, all in this same color, based on 5 different flowers. I added measurement pics to help with an ID. The location is a sandy field right off Hwy 114 that has remnants of a paved parking lot for something, maybe a small church, but there is no building or foundation at all now. Just a field with part of it treed with oaks. Nothing resembling landscaping was obvious to me. These flowers were right out in the open, just like other Anemones. Could this be just really dark A. berlandieri??

Elizabeth and I went down to Burleson to go to the grocery store (HEB), and of course, we had to stop by Booger Creek for a second. :)
