You have the best wild plant content on the internet! Thank you for your research and time to teach us. I always learn something when watching your vids.

Hi Josh, thx!

[@melsterifficmama1808]

Beautiful plant. I didn't know they're edible. Thanks!

[@Tammy.50]

Excellent 🎉

[@willymags123]

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation ❤

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome!

[@bushpushersdaughter]

What a lovely plant! Every time you show and tell I think 'the more you know'! Thank you Josh!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It is a lovely plant! You're very welcome and it's always nice seeing you in the comments!

I have lots of Bluebells in my garden. They are beautiful!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Yes they are! I bought a woodland mix of native seeds and planted them a couple weeks ago, so hopefully I'll have some next year.

planted em twice only for rabbits to decimate them, seeing that location does give me an idea, hopefully third time's a charm lol

Olá, me chamo Víctor e moro no Brasil. Fico feliz de ver seus vídeos mostrando o potencial das ervas que vocês tem. Uma dica para você, poderia mostrar algumas receitas com elas, seria interessante. Abraços!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! I've done a few cooking videos and medicine preparation videos before on my channel. They don't always perform well so I haven't done much recently but I'm hoping to have a few more this year. Thank you for the feedback, it really means a lot!

@@TrilliumWildEdibles maravilha. bom, não sei como é a aceitação do seu público aos vídeos das espécies vinculadas à remédios e a culinária. Mas uma dica que posso te dar é talvez trazer a história por trás daquele uso ou receita, por exemplo. Acredito que independente de onde somos, todos temos curiosidades em saber como determinadas plantas eram usadas, seu potencial alimentício e medicinal. Se você puder acompanhar e ler alguns materiais sobre as nossas "wild edibles" brasileiras, verá que sempre associamos fatos históricos e costumes de nosso povo ao uso dessas plantas. Sei que nossa língua portuguesa é complicada para entender às vezes (rsrsrs), mas vale à pena ver como outros países trabalham suas "wild edibles", por isso acompanho o trabalho de vocês. Eu aprendo muito com vocês. Muito obrigado pela partilha!

You know, that's actually an incredible idea I've never thought of! I'll have to give that a try for sure! The interest is there for those kinds of videos and maybe your suggestion will help keep viewers interested. Yeah, Portuguese is a really hard language but thankfully Google translate exists because I only know a few words in various languages. I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos and it's great to have viewers from other countries. Thanks again for the feedback and suggestions, it really means a lot!

@@TrilliumWildEdibles Fico feliz, muito mesmo. Perdão pela demora em responder, estive sem internet até hoje. Continuo acompanhando daqui seu conteúdo. Abraço.

looks like plantain

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Not really. The leaves are only similar somewhat in shape and them having smooth margins. However maybe you're seeing something I don't which happens a lot.
