Adkins Mystery Monday: What Caused the Pattern on this Log?

December 13, 2021 by Adkins Arboretum

Share
Happy Mystery Monday! Do you know what caused this pattern on this log we found?

Last week, we asked you about the wild geranium, Geranium maculatum! Wild geranium does well in sun to part shade and works as a great ground cover. It has a pale rosy pink bloom in May with foliage that persists for most of the year. You can find it planted in our Parking Lot Alive! gardens.
Adkins Mystery Monday is sponsored by the Spy and Adkins Arboretum. Please give them here.

    Pattern on log caused by deer rubbing their antlers perhaps.
