This site was particularly weedy, and it started to rain in the latter part of sampling so not too many pictures, but here’s what I have! It’s in the same park as the previous site, and right by McCormick Place.

Since I don’t have a lot of pictures from this site (and they all look about the same) I’ll throw some of the new leaf vocab I’ve learned at you!
Dentate: Leaf has triangular edges
Serrate: Leaf has saw-like teeth (so pointed, but curved)
Auriculate: Leaf surrounds stem at base (an excellent example is the New England Aster)
Peltate: Leaf attaches to stem at its middle
Petiolate: Leaf attaches to stalk with a stem (petiole)
Sessile: Leaf attaches directly to stalk without a stem
Cordate: Leaf heart-shaped
