MONDAY MORNING MYSTERY 092208

  This guy is now in bloom on the trail in several places, including just past the spillway and between the Green Way meadow and the Pink Potty Bridge (Troop 59 Boy Scout Lookout).
   Can anyone help with an ID?
   Last week’s mystery: The mystery now seems to be how a squash plant got into a pot from a native plant sale. 
   The good news is that the squash could well be native.  And from its lackadaisical growth, I would venture that it is definitely not invasive.
