the meadow at Garvies Point

This meadow was full of botanical points of interest, such as a native persimmon tree (Diospyros virginiana), lots of Japanese angelica (Aralia elata) - which is said to have displaced native devil's walkingstick (Aralia spinosa) - and curiously above, a royal paulownia weed (Paulownia tomentosa) growing next to a catalpa tree (probably northern, Catalpa speciosa), two plants that were thought to be related but have since been proven otherwise. (I suppose that could be a catalpa seedling, but it sure resembles a royal paulownia).
