One of the books I relished reading was - Up in old hotel and other stories by Joseph Mitchell.
There is a story about a cemetery. He is describing the plants that grew around..
He actually names them: poison ivy, cat brier, trumpet creeper, wild hop, blackberry, morning glory,climbing false buckwheat, patrridgeberry, fox grape, milkweed, knotweed,ragweed, Jimson weed, pavement weed, catchfly, Jerusalem oak, bedstraw, goldenrod, cocklebur, butter-and- eggs, dandelion, bouncing Bet, mullein, partridge pea, beggar's lice, sandspur, wild garlic, wild mustard, wild geranium, old-field cinquefoil, cinnamon fern and lady fern. Whew.. wish I had that kind of a plant vocabulary..
