Ring Mountain Plant Phenology Project

For observations about the growth stage of plants at the Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve. You can observe whether a species has just begun to germinate, bloom, produce fruit, die back, etc. Except for noting the first blooming individual of a species, observations should be representative of the growth stage for MOST individuals of that species. For example, an observation that purple needlegrass is in fruit should be made when the majority of grass clumps you see in an area have mature seeds. less ↑
