While walking over to the library I noticed jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) in flower one the far bank of the canal, and snowberry (Sympharicarpos albus) overlooking the canal.
A few days earlier I had noted Rubus cockburniana overlooking the other branch of the canal.
To the east of the area is a second park. I haven't visited that area much this year - the through path to the next town south had been blocked by construction work, but as it is now passable again I used it today.
By the entrance to the park was a corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas).
A small pool a little off the path has branched bur-reed (Sparganium erectum). White poplar (Populus alba) is fairly common and regenerating along the path. A bulrush (Typha sp.) is present at a second pool.
I came back through the other park. At the south end of the lake there Himalayan balsam (Impatiens balsamifera) is growing. (I had seen this earlier, but overlooked that I hadn't previously recorded it for this area.)
