I like the term "aggressive native plant". I don't know how many times I've had to explain that brambles (a genus that includes blackberries, dewberries, and raspberries) are in fact native not invasive, are great for pollinators, and produce edible fruit. They just grow super fast and really need to be pruned to keep them from taking over entire gardens

Agreed!

I love the young green shoots of brambles. Eating those gives a little notch to their start of spring burst. Their taste reminds me of those old palma violet candies. It takes a moment of chewing for it to come through the green flavour. But so worth it. (iirc this whole family of leaves is a big nope of you're pregnant though)

I picked a variety of wild flowers and took them to a friend in a nursing home. I was so proud and she liked them, 😅😊❤ I few days later her husband asked me not to do that again, 😮😢 they had tiny bugs, that I did not see, and the nursing home had to fumigate her room, 😢. 😅😂😅

Great video! I was so excited to see these flowers growing in our back field this year. We moved in a year ago and before that, it was used for crop. So the field was barren and ugly last year. I plan to avoid mowing most of the field and I’m hoping to see other native flowers popping up this year. Also. it’s funny how something called “Butter”weed is inedible, but dead-nettle is safe lol

Oooo i think this may be what has popped up all over the cattle pasture, especially right up against the fence. My family just sprayed for it. From a distance it looks similar to lomatium triternatum. But then again, right now there's just a TON of tall, thin, kinda wiry looking plants with clustered yellow flowers that look similar from a distance right now here in the eastern PNW. What area are you in, and are these abundant all over North America or just in certain areas?

This is not related but i have been unable to successfully identify stinging nettle. I use google to "assist" my identification but usually it says it is white vervain or american germanium. One in early season is white snakeroot. That really tricked me early this year but im lvl 10 paranoid and wont eat it unless it burns me. Which has had limited success. Only a bit of a rash from one and only one time and it looks like white vervaine 😢. Also they haven't flowered yet so I'm probably just being impatient 😂
