Observation date: July 16, 2016
Submitted by: Anne Wills
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There was a big rain the night before, and this bush was sort of laying in the ditch beside the dirt road. I think it's autumn olive, but not certain. There was a honeysuckle vine that had twined up the bush as well. The branches were resting on roadside grass and weeds, such as dandelion, clover, fleabane daisy, cinquefoil. Weather was mostly cloudy, around 90 degrees, very humid.
