Bloom Description
Big storm with heavy rain this morning, but there was a heat advisory by this afternoon—hot with few clouds. No noticeable die-offs, and in the light it was hard to tell between pollen and HAB although the photos appear more green. But the streaking made me think HAB. I collected a sample in a jar and the debris floated to the top and clumped together, furthering my suspicion of a HAB.
