Thnaks for comments about the Harpers Ferry plant. I did see online
mention of the milky sap present in the C. laeve. The leaves are not a
simple heart shape - but have a flattened area where the petiole attaches
- and look a bit auriculate. I'll suggest to Janet that she check for the
milky sap.

There was a message from CHeryl Jennings, who is active in the WV Master
Naturalists program, in another Yahoo group, WestVirginiaNaturalHistory
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WestVirginiaNaturalHistory) about a blog
that might be of interest to some:

While looking for citizen science projects I came across nice
naturalist blog by Marcia Bonta. I have read her nature journals and
enjoyed them a lot . Her blog is equally as interesting. She has
written two books on women naturalist that I ordered and will enjoy
reading this winter when I am snowed in. I'm not sure how often she
writes but it looks like she has been at this blog thing for quite
some time so we shouldn't run out of interesting things from her. I
have only read the one on beetles and found it fun. She lives in
Pennsylvania so we share some of the same habitat.

She also has some other good links to citizen science projects.

So here is the blog site:
