Congrats to Cayuga Crew for FTF!
PLEASE wear bright orange during hunting season! (Trail is terrain 2 – it is only a 3 for the last 20 feet or so)
This geoart is in honor of my mother, formerly known as the flower lady of Portville. The cache names are just some of the varieties she has in her gardens. Read the description below to find the information needed to get the final coordinates of the cache.
Stachys byzantine: Lamb's-ear is a low growing, spreading perennial plant with very fuzzy, pale, silvery gray-green foliage. They are grown primarily for the color and texture of their foliage and are often recommended for children's gardens because of their soft feel, which is the source of the name "lamb's-ear." Because of their suede-like texture, lamb's ears are favored for their foliage rather than their flowers. However, some varieties do flower on tall spikes in the late spring or early summer, in shades of pinkish-purple or white. Some gardeners find the flower spikes charming, while others cut them off to encourage the foliage, as so many of us do with hosta. Bees are not so fussy and love the slightly fragrant flowers. The flower spikes reach 12 to 18 inches in height, but the rest of the plant stays much closer to the ground and has a spread of about 1 foot.
