Geocache Description:


Congrats to Cayuga Crew for FTF!

PLEASE wear bright orange during hunting season!  (Gate may be closed - see parking waypoint)

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.

Festuca glauca: Blue fescue plants are evergreen but they do lose some of the older blades and grow new fresh deep blue leaves in spring. The older leaves adhere to the plant and spoil the bright coloration. However, you can simply comb them out with your fingers. The grass forms low tight mounds and produces tall flower tipped stems in May to June.

Final Coordinates: N42 08.79X   W078 33.93X

X = Number of the first month it forms flower tipped stems
