Some Clintonia,
Clintonia umbellulata ,
Species limited to Appalachian mountains and Ilp/allegheny complex
I’ve only seen this species in acidic mesic woodland. I feel like this this species has open forest growth requirements for light as well but i’ve found the species hiding out under ferns many times at Red River Gorge. Auxier ridge has many examples of small clustered populations. These leaves are relatively fleshy and remind me of an intermediate texture between midland shooting star and showy orchis. Some people say that it reminds them of the basil rosette associated with wild columbo.

2023: Year in Review
Things were pretty quiet on the blog in 2023, and I apologize for that. I have no excuses really. It’s just life. Fewer posts doesn’t mean I’m any less committed to writing and sharing about plants since the day I started this project, it’s more about quality over quantity. I would never want this to become a half-hearted affair, so even if months go by without hearing from me, just know that…

I fled to my parents place to study last weekend, at my boyfriends place the urge to just get high and leave everything to finish the next day, is just too strong... especially since hes already done with his exams and does nothing but playing video games and smoking atm..
I hope that one day ill have a better relationship with weed, but for now lets pray i pass that exam🥲

Not too bad for a neglected plant. This Philodendron Majestic (Sodiroi x Verrucosum) needs a moss pole so bad but I’m too lazy to make one and to repot 😬
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I imported this from Indonesia way back in August of 2022. The whole order was basically dead so I just chopped the individual nodes and dumped it all in a propagation box with moss as a medium. Between the building the house, moving, seasonal depression, among other things, I neglected the box. I did not check it for over half a year.
Tumblr media
April came along and I finally took care of the box and to my surprise, every single type of plant that I originally ordered sprouted. Yay! I repoted them but as the weather got warmer, I focused 100% of my time on my outdoor garden. It seems like these tropical plants loves being neglected. I have the Atlantic coast high humidity to thank.

Greek midwives would make sure that at the birth of a child, the whole room smelled of the cloves to protect the newborns from Lilith, the mother of all demons. If the cloves were not placed around the neck of the babies, it was believed that Lilith would strange the babies and frighten the mothers into madness.
