David, Great question! Isabelle and I walked up ave Carnot last Fall and took a few pictures of those trees, which are featured in the middle of this article. They are commonly called the Empress Tree and the latin name is Paulownia tomentosa. What a beautiful sight they must have been all in full bloom! Unfortunately, this asian native which was historically planted as a street tree, has become a problematic invasive and has adapted all too well to the urban environment.

Missed the trees we saw last month in Paris along Carnot, leading to Arc de Triumph. They were beautiful tall trees lining both sides of the street, with large purple flowers very similar to purple lilacs. We could not find anyone who could tell us what they were. Can you?

You revive the deep wonder of flowering that first hit me when I was only a kid, those amazing Disney nature movies of stop-frame mystery and opening. Blessings on thee and all those wide-spreading fronds and petals to the one sun! And there’s nothing like ferns unfurling…

Allison, it would be great if you could come out and visit our site! We are planning to have a garlic mustard removal work day this coming Sunday. It would be great if you could come out and we can also show you the native plants in the area and show you some of the work we have been doing in the park. Please let us know and we can make further arrangements.

Hi Again,

I contacted you once before about your blog, and I was wondering if I could come out and visit you at Morris Park.

I’m on summer break from Temple Ambler’s Landscape Architecture program and I’m looking to follow up on some of the contacts with native plants I found in the area, but didn’t have time to persue during the school year.

As I mentioned before, I grew up in Overbrook and walked throught the park regularly to get to Papa Playground, so I’m excited to learn more about the native plants there and the invasive species issues.

Thanks! -Allison

S-t-r-e-t-c-h your Spring season by starting it two months earlier with a visit to the Sunny South! Start with the amazing trout lilies and trilliums in February in South Georgia’s Wolf Creek Trout Lily Preserve in Cairo. Skip along after to the limestone formations along the Apalachicola River and Chipola River in North Florida. Meander up the coastal states, checking out preserves, parks, gardens and hitting a few art shows enroute. Spring doesn’t have to be short, if you have wheels. But it takes lots of time away from more pressing needs, like earning money to eat, pay rent and buy gas. You could always plan trips around work projects for locals living in these great places, to earn your way like true Sanguine Rooties!
