The Pennyroyal grew around the top of the pond and did not grow alone it just grew all together and in large clumps. I found it at the Turtle Pond and all of it was purple. The smell was very strange. It smelled like spicy lavender and was very interesting.

sienaparrishDescription
There was one stalk and no live flowers on it since all the flowers had died and faded into a burnt orange color. The stalk was green and very tall, a little over one foot in my opinion. About two thirds of the way up, the stalk split into multiple parts and had lots of flowers growing on it. The stalk was just in the shade and next to the trail. The only other Klamath weed was about 2-3 feet away.

Missing DateDescription
The Bay tree looked fairly old but I didn't know how old. About 1/3 of the leave on the tree were a greenish yellow color that did not look sick at all. Approximately 1/2 of the tree was covered in emerald green leaves and about 1/6 of the leaves were a caramel brown color. Overall the length of the leaves seemed to be around 2 1/2 inches.
