Litzsinger provides outdoor discovery for all ages, from preschoolers to well-seasoned volunteers. Our newest quiz, “Where in Litzsinger?” will challenge you to find where these images were taken on site and also provide an opportunity to learn more about our flora, fauna, and habitat management.

This eye-catching obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana) burst into bloom this week. This showy plant is in the mint family and blooms for about a month and a half long. Bumblebees and ruby-throated hummingbirds love to visit the tubular flowers. A female hummingbird was seen searching for nectar from the flowers yesterday morning.

Hint: They were planted last year, in April 2016, by our Friday Horticulture Volunteers!
