Location: Behind Collins in the garden
Time: 1020-1040 hours
Weather: Clear

I happened to see an interesting-looking garden behind Collins today, and I went over there to investigate it. It is right next to the rose garden along State Street. There are many flowers that look like Snapdragons in the garden. They have long, thin stems with series of bright red flowers that are a red tube ending in a bloom coming off of each stem. There are about forty flowers per stem. However, they are dying because of the changing of the seasons, or they have some sort of problem. Many of the flowers entire bottom half of flowers are dead or dying.
