Annapolis in Anne Arundel County, Maryland — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Streamside Community
In this area you will find plants that thrive in wetlands such as assorted ferns and wildflowers. The Bald Cypress is a conifer that loses its needles in the fall. Once common in Maryland's Coastal Plain, the trees were harvested for their valuable wood, which was used for barrels and bridges. They are easily recognizable for their "knees", unique roots, that protrude up through the water or stream bank to support and oxygenate the trees.
