Scientific Scavenger Hunt #1

Your clue is:

Celastrus Orbiculatus

This invasive, out of control ornamental woody vine was brought to the U.S. from China around 1860, and has been in CT for at least 90 years. It's sale in CT has been banned since 2004. You can find it strangling and smothering tall trees and anything else in it's path.  It prefers sunny areas, but will tolerate partial shade. It's just nasty stuff.

Your mission: go find this species and take a 'selfie' with it. Bring it to RML and earn a free YA book as well as 3 raffle entries in the Summer Reading Program.
(If you need more help, shoot me an email at ewashburn@richmondlibrary.info for another clue)
