Today's Ramble was led by Dale Hoyt.
The photos in this post, except where
noted, came from Don's Facebook album (here's the link).
(Note added after posting this page.
Don returned to the Dunson Garden in better (warmer) weather and got some spectacular photos of Trout Lillies and other spring flowering plants. View his album here.)

26 Ramblers met today. Introduced were
three new ramblers, Susie and John (who joined us last week), and AJC nature columnist Charles Seabrook.
Show &
Tell: Sue brought in a Luna Moth cocoon that she recently found in Memorial
Park. Luna caterpillars are polyphagic, which means that they eat the leaves of
a variety of trees. I've reared them on Sweet Gum, but they have been recorded
eating Hickory, Walnut, Maple, Ash and many others. Their preferences vary
regionally.
