August 25, 2012 -- sumac again

Since yesterday morning, when I did my last sumac post, and tonight, when I'm doing this sumac post, I've been to the Irvine Native Plant Center in Maryland and back. There I was reminded of the name of this sumac: shining sumac, Rhus copillina.  Yes!  It's now in a tall bottle instead of the dark vase I had it in yesterday, and I think it looks better.
