It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

Can you identify most plants on sight? If so, how did you unlock this skill? In trying to learn all the trees and it is. Extremely hard.

i actually can’t identify them on sight…yet!! it’s a very hard skill, and from my experience it’s less about memorizing them and more about learning intuition and working with the plants themselves. there’s a knowledge that i can’t really articulate that comes from working with the plants firsthand and identifying them in a more formal environment. its like getting to know them more. 

like, for me, i know that any lichen i come across with cup-shaped podecia is probably gonna be in the Cladonia family, because ive looked at a lot of cladonia and theyre Just Like That. if i see a lichen with a webbed lobe look, i’m gonna assume that it’s Pulmenaria, and if i see a blue lichen on a branch around campus i know that it’s probably gonna be either Physica stellaris or another close relative, because Physica stellaris is off the shits common around here and it can look like a lot of things, although it usually grows in rosettes. if it’s orange or yellow, it’ll be in the Xanthoria family, probably in Xanthomendoza, because i’ve worked with a lot of orange and yellow lichens and a lot of them just….seem to Be Like That, In Those Groups. idk it’s weird

but for higher plants?? i can only identify the ones ive gone on a binge research spree for. so a few species of carnivorous plants, some liverworts and hornworts, plants like the eastern skunk cabbage, some random amorphophallus species and a few common garden plants i worked with in greenhouses in high school, etc. apparently learning plant systematics (how the kingdom plantae is split up into taxonomic groups) is very helpful in this department, although it’s also very difficult from what i’ve heard. i’m hoping to take the formal class for it soon. again, it gives that environment of being able to actually work with the plants themselves, looking at a lot of samples, figuring out what’s normal and what’s weird, that kind of thing. very much intuition-based. 

but yes. it is a very powerful skill. there were old ladies at the greenhouses i worked at who knew all the plants they laid eyes on bc theyd been gardening for decades and had just worked with them so much they had a little bit of experience with everything. giant flex

“The French called this time of day “l’heure bleue.” To the English it was “the gloaming.” The very word “gloaming” reverberates, echoes— the gloaming, the glimmer, the glitter, the glisten, the glamour—carrying in its consonants the images of houses shuttering, gardens darkening, grass-lined rivers slipping through the shadows.” (Joan Didion)
