Symphyotrichum Workout

Symphyotrichum lateriflorum (Calico Aster) on 10-9-22, #916-11. Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. The past week has been fairly cool and it finally rained. This is a perfect time of the year to get dirty and do some fall cleanup. One of the most baffling genera of plants on the farm has been the Symphyotrichum. Even pronouncing it can be a challenge. It’s…

Despite its undignified name, Muddy Creek is a lovely mountain stream that normally runs fast and clear on its steep descent to Cheat River. But after a week of heavy rain in NC-WV, the stream looked a bit murky yesterday. Not even the sediment washing away from the mountains dims its beauty in my eyes. And the enchanting, moss-encrusted forest along its bank holds its own late summer treasures.

From top: great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), which pairs beautifully with cardinal flower to provide late summer color in a native wildflower garden; white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata), which is the most common of the shade-loving white asters in this area; crooked-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum prenanthoides), also known as zigzag aster, whose clasping, spatula-shaped leaves distinguish it from big-leaf aster, another woods-loving aster with lavender flowers; blue-stemmed goldenrod (Solidago caesia), whose spreading, yellow-flowered stems provide stunning late-season color in a native wildflower garden; an intensely-green collage of moss, woodland stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) and heartleaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), which I am trying hard to reproduce in my own native wildflower shade garden; the shaggy-maned stem of Coker's Amanita (Amanita cokeri), one of the most impressive mushrooms of Appalachia's summer forests; beech-drops (Epifagus virginiana), a parasitic plant that grows and subsists on beach tree roots; the bright red berries of false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum); yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), whose explosive seed pods give the plant its other common name, pale touch-me-not; and narrow-leaved tick-trefoil (Desmodium paniculatum), also known as panicled tick-trefoil, a late summer pea whose sticky seed pods commonly hitch rides on shoes and boots.

White-panicle aster

Symphyotrichum lanceolatum

A completely impromptu poem nobody asked for or wanted:

Your melody hums to many.

Walk into the ring

And fall prey to the faerie.

Lured by your delicate song and

Calls of innocent worry.

I had to do my final harvest today, since the temperatures in the night time have been getting down a little too close to frost for comfort. (Even now I’m only keeping warm with some lemon ginger tea!) I got another big flush of tomatoes, picked the last of my peppers, the last of my beans, pulled up all the sweet potatoes, and deadheaded the sunflowers that needed it. Since the autumn equinox is just hours away, I guess I’m right on time!

I also gave the area around the forest another walkthrough. The wild (and invasive) multiflora rose hips have come out, which is exciting. Some of them are red already, but I’ll give them more time before I pick any. After a frost is usually better.

I also found some wild aster growing at the edge of the forest and next to a stump. I’m not certain what kind - it’s not the calico or panicled type that was growing elsewhere a few days ago. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s white wood aster. Very cool to see multiple subspecies of aster growing here this year.

@wildfloweroftheday a classic example of when you ask a professor and they says it looks like  Showy tick trefoil

and you look at them and go ^ uhh the common name for like 10+ tick trefoil are also “showy tick trefoil” pls deliniate. 

^_^ i mean I just want to make a strange database about all of the sp. listed in indiana plant atlas on tumblr with key descriptions eventually and then people can just do a quick archive search via tagged posts for the genus and be like “yeah, thats the correct species.” 

but yeah dude aster diversity is the other can of worms that Id like to grow to know. the diversity is so hard to get through but I low key want to make a poster for classrooms with them. and at least have a tumblr with every aster sp. i come across. stuffs gnarly. one day Ill attempt to tackle sedges and bryophytes properly but rn asters are my target.

Solidago (Oligoneuron) riddellii:  The taxonomists have this one in a tug of war, but I think ultimately the Oligoneurons (of which this is one) have been classified as Solidagos.  Along with Riddell's goldenrod, S. rigida and S. ptarmicoides are perhaps the most refined of the goldenrods, the former two completely gardenworthy and distinctive in the genus.  One reason I am using them as subjects in my goldenrod project.  Working wonderfully with small and mid-size warm season grasses (Molinia, Sporobolus, Panicum, Calamagrostis and Andropogon), and a variety of late season perennials--fall Asters, (think laevis 'Blue Bird', cordifolia 'Little Carlow' and novaeangliae 'September Rubin'), Persicia amplexicaulis, Actea (Cimicfuga) ramosa, Sanguisorba officinalis, Eutrochium maculatum or rugosum 'Chocolate' and Helenium autumnale--Riddell's Goldenrod makes 1 ft wide x 3ft tall clumps topped by bright golden mounded panicles from late August into early October.  A stand of these in the mid-garden (or right up front where their elegant foliar profile and erect carriage can be displayed to full effect) makes a bold and elegant statement in even the most refined garden designs.

Ron - Still a bunch of these tiny Panicled Asters growing freely out on the edges of the Little League field at lunch time…. Each flower is about the size of a dime.

[vandaliatraveler]

Aside from New England aster, purple-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum), also known as purplestem aster, red-stemmed aster, and swamp aster, has the largest flowerheads of any Symphyotrichum in the Central Appalachians. A lover of marshes and streambanks, this tall, rangy perennial reaches up to seven feet in height and is instantly recognizable by its deep-red, slightly hairy stems. In late summer to early fall, purple-stemmed aster produces long panicles of gorgeous, lavender-petaled flowers with bright yellow disk florets. The panicles eventually start to droop from the weight of their massed flowers, giving the plant its rangy-looking growth habit.

Smoothie Ideas

Unasked for, but liked by some! If I had access to all of these (and under responsible circumstances) and a good amount of space to work with as well as room in a freezer, and a good blender/food processor, this is what I would do. All plant parts in equal amounts. Plus plain yogurt and silky tofu for texture. And honey, tulip tree nectar, and syrups of sugar maple, boxelder maple, red maple, black maple, silver maple, mountain maple, swamp maple, yellow birch, sweet birch, water birch, paper birch, gray birch, bog birch, butternut, black walnut, American sycamore, basswood, silver linden, green alder, mountain alder, American elm, slippery elm, and rock elm for added sweetness.

Hi, I think someone’s trying to reach out to me. via /r/pagan

Hi, I think someone’s trying to reach out to me.

A few months ago, I started having weird dreams and all that. In one of them, I remember sitting at a table in a very dark place, and I was talking to this woman but it was very hard to tell what she looked like. I remember we talked for a bit, and she said something like “you know you’re dreaming, right?” And I said “yeah, I know”. I started seeing a lot of repeating numbers, mostly 11’s and 3’s.

Whenever I tried to meditate on who that might have been in that dream, the only thing that came to my mind’s eye were depictions of a lioness, and someone with dark, curly hair. Though it was difficult to pick out facial features.

Recently, I’ve noticed two things: 1. There are wayyy more bunnies, and generally more animals, around here than usual 2. Suddenly half of my house’s yard is filled with the native aster (panicled aster). It wasn’t even there a few days ago! Or maybe I just didn’t notice it.

So I think someone’s trying to reach out to me? I’m really not sure who, to be honest. Any help would be appreciated. It’s definitely an interesting time for me, though!

15-28 June 2020

It’s been a busy two weeks. Ann, Kitty and Chipette drove to France and Ann and Chipette will be staying until autumn. Kitty will be back for work in early July. The night they left I also had the absolute most excruciating bout of food poisoning of my life. I wanted to die. It was a bean salad I was finishing off after eating it twice earlier in the week, and it tasted perfect; however, by the time I finished washing the dishes, the pain started and only worsened over the next eight hours until I was able to vomit it all up and start to feel better. It wiped me out Friday, when, thankfully, I was working from home. I also worked that weekend, 20/21 June, which meant I had a short working week and a four-day birthday weekend! Saturday night I went to see Maarten, Mark and Mike in Kingston for dinner, the first meal I’d eaten since Thursday night, and it was delicious.

We’re making good headway in the garden and things are being brought back into order. I finally had my week in the glasshouses with Jess. I worked all week in the tropical corridor. I did a lot of planting, pruning, and pest eradication (mostly mealy bugs and aphids). We’ve been enjoying perfect summer weather too.

This week, I spent Monday and Tuesday cutting hedges which resulted in my back screaming and threatening to cramp. I cut the Elaeagnus × submacrophylla hedge with electric hedge cutters. It was the 400mm high Buxus sempervirens hedges that I cut back with sheers that hurt my back.

Thursday night I went to Elizabeth and Rob’s and we had a very nice evening which of course included some time in the jacuzzi. Dinner was duck with a sauce of grilled cherries and nectarines - delicious. I was still there at midnight so my first birthday toast! Friday evening I headed to Denis and André’s and we ate a succulent pot-roasted chicken and enjoyed a bottle of Jacquesson, my favourite Champagne. I blew out the candles with a hair-drier in light of the current precautions not to blow on food.

Saturday I made my way across London to visit Alexander and Stefan for our first catch up this year. Alexander made a delicious fish pie, one of my favourite meals. Sunday Susie and Louis came over and we enjoyed Negroni fizz and a leisurely afternoon of eating and drinking. Susie made one of her infamous risottos and a roast chicken. She also made Negroni cupcakes!

I’m very excited because I also received my invitation to Bruno et Stéphane’s wedding in December. I’m going to be Stéphane’s witness. I almost died laughing when I saw the photo...
