i am learning to become much more specific in my identifications. i used to just call an aspen an aspen and leave it at that.
here is a quaking aspen:
it's just a little sapling, but it is among friends. and probably siblings, because this is a species known for clonal reproduction.
this here is a flat-branched tree clubmoss, sometimes called a princess pine.
once harvested for flash powder. well, you learn something every day.
i've seen these in the forest forever, but for some reason never learned their names. that now seems rude. these are canada mayflowers:
and this is common selfheal:
apparently some people consider it a lawn invasive, but i guess only if you're trying to grow grass. it's native, thanks.
and woot! it's HOPNISS!
the american groundnut is a legume, and if you know where to find it and how to dig it, you will never starve.
not starving is good.
