In July, I wrote about the Sumacs blooming.  I have read about four similar kinds of Sumac in our area.  I only wrote about three of them.  And I promised to show you a picture of the fourth one, the Staghorn Sumac, Rhus typhina.

 

See why it's called Staghorn?  The branches, twigs, and blossoms are hairy, and resemble the velvet of deer antlers.  

 

I've been looking since July for one that was in a safe enough place to take its picture.  They are blooming all around, but none safe enough to say, "Hey!!!!  There's one, let's stop and take a picture!"  So this picture is from the Internet.

 

I wanted you to see it, so you can identify it when you're out and about.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
