I noticed on our walk that the vegetation in Massachusetts looks different from what my phenology location in Burlington looks like. For example, there are a lot of rhododendrons here which we are less likely to see up north in Vermont because they prefer mild temperatures and a damp climate. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
