Transcription Notes:
@siobhanleachman - checked species names, kept original spelling, anything I'm unsure of is in [[?]] @phil_terry - oceans looks good to me ... i think it is 'Galliardia' with a very truncated last a = Gaillardia (Blanketflower) ... Callarhoe looks right = Callirhoe (poppy mallows) Changed "past" to "post" oak. Agree about oceans; poetic! I think he might have written "Celastris sc" for "Celastrus scandens" -@meg_shuler
