Flora around the Yorktown Battlefields

This page shows some of the flora (aka Plants) that can be found in the area surrounding the Yorktown Battlefields.

I'm not sure what this is.. Maybe a two foot high stalk beginning to bloom.	An onion blossom along the fence in front of the Moore House.
There is a fair amount of cacti such as this in the sandier barren regions throughout the park. This was taken just off the trail between theYorktown Visitor's Center and Redoubts 9 and 10.	Here three trees show recent evidence of the beaver population that lives at Wormley Pond.
This example of fungi was on a tree in the picnic grounds at the eastern end of Water Street in Yorktown. It was over two feet high by 1 foot wide. Unfortunately park service maintenance personnel sawed it off.	Another example of some colorful fungi.
Purple Thistle	Seed pod of unknown type
