The Lawrence Brook is a scenic 10-mile tributary of the Raritan River; it hosts an amazing variety of wildlife, unsuspected from the roadways. The local flora presented in this lecture includes endangered and attractive native plants, useful plants, weird and unusual plants, and invasive plants. We will speak about rare rhododendrons, orchids, about the vampire-like Cuscuta, and about some invasive that are destroying our natural sites.
