Filaree (Erodjum cicutarium) Cicutaria o becco di gru comune. 🌸🌿

Questo fiore aiuta le persone ad acquisire una prospettiva più ampia sulla vita quotidiana, vedendo così un punto di vista più ampio sugli eventi della loro vita. Ottengono una visione più cosmica della vita, tenendo in prospettiva gli eventi quotidiani. Aiuta l'individuo a fare un passo indietro e vedere il quadro più ampio in modo che le questioni banali non interferiscano con la gioia di vivere la vita.

Every Humble Beauty In The World

You've always overlooked them.

The shiny little trinkets everywhere.

They lay in the street, in public parks,

in both parking lots and abandoned dirt lots.

Screws and gears, nuts and bolts,

rusted lengths of necklace chain,

and keys that go to nothing.

I pick up each one to go in my collection,

a shoebox full of pretty useless things.

I hid them before, so you wouldn't toss them out.

But I want you to know now.

I'm fixing the jacket you told me to throw away.

I've patched the holes at the pocket corners,

and reinforced the ripping seams.

But the button on the sleeve is still broken.

Every repair makes it feel more mine.

Please understand that it isn't a waste of time.

Remember the "weeds" you killed with salt last spring?

The tiny purple clusters of flowers

that bloom from sidewalk cracks

and the edges of lawns left unmown.

These, I have seen and found beautiful

every day since my childhood.

I finally found their name. They're called filaree.

You think grey and brown are ugly colors.

But grey is the color of storms and steel.

It is the color of fledgeling down and river stones.

Brown is the color of wood and soil,

of small animals in the grass,

the color of loved ones.

These colors may fade into the background,

but then their beauty is everpresent.

I know you think I'm childish and naive.

I just wish you could see what i do.

The dance of a wasp's flight,

the glide of a pencil when you write fast.

Is there not joy in finding a nice rock?

Just because they are small

does not diminish their wonders.

today's Fifth Acre work: sheet mulching!

I have decided to sheet mulch as well as sieve the stones and broken glass, rusty nails, and general trash from the top soil before I start compost application and soil amendment. The rest of the weeds (filaree, ugh) can be pulled with about six hours of work, and then I'll have two plots. Terrace West will be a three sisters based garden with some others like chard, kale, eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers. Terrace Center will have sunflowers, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and nightshades. Terrace East is already planted with potatoes and alliums, and Terrace Top has some potatoes, thornless blackberries, and a raspberry that decided it ain'tn't dead yet.

Image description: two images, both of a garden sheet mulched with cardboard on an overcast day. The left shows a long view of an 800 sqft area sheet mulched, and clover and filaree in foreground unmulched. Right shows two raised beds, overrun with filaree, with sheet mulching around the left side and trampled filaree on the right.

I found some volunteers while working: a pansy by the compost over in Terrace East, and some Eschscholzia poppies at the edge of Terrace West and the shrine garden.

Image description: two closeup photos of flowers. Left is a pansy about the size of a quarter growing out of a small leaf cluster among many other green plants in rocky soil. It has two purple upper petals, two small white side petals, and a yellow beard petal with black striping. Right is a California poppy bud and unopened blossom, growing amongst its own dense foliage and clover leaves.

Tomorrow I stop in at a queer / trans asian gardeners collective to see if I'm a good fit for joining. Wish me luck!

Erodium cicutarium L. Family: Geraniaceae

Common name: Redstem Filaree or Redstem Stork's Bill.

The name "Erodium cicutarium" comes from the Greek word "erodios" meaning "heron," due to the fruit's resemblance to a heron's beak, and "cicutarium" from the Latin "cicuta," referring to the similarity of its leaves to those of the toxic hemlock plant.

[goblinofthelaboratory]

my favorite flower redstem filaree (Erodium cicutarium) is budding despite the cold and im just beaming about it.

even though there is snow and mud and slush, the tiny wildflower, the one overlooked, the one rooted out as a weed only grown in sidewalk cracks, this flower grows. it buds and blooms in early march when it is wet and miserable.

it shall remain blooming, flowering, persisting, until frost turns it dormant once more. Yet it returns every year. the same places, same plants, reawakened.

savescummed in my dream last night in order to say the correct combination of words and do the correct actions to receive a gift from a young* dryad**, which was a small bundle of filaree that bloomed at my feet, which i had to carefully dig from the earth without breaking any roots.

*young here means around 200 years old. her mother was in the same grove, a giant willow older than time with branches that hung down to the ground and were covered so much in spiders that i got the message that she definitely did not want my company

**dryad is the closest established name i am using here for a species of treelike beings/spirits which disguise as trees, but they did look a lot barkier and more treelike than your classic actual dryad bc they were made of tree and the young ones sometimes came out of the earth to walk on their roots like spiders. the old ones' root systems were generally too ingrained to do so

Feeling sorry for myself this afternoon because a) some guy stole my bike right in front of me today and I couldn't stop him and then b) unrelatedly I got an angry voicemail from a coworker who assumes the worst in people and got mad about something I did (which was, imo, exactly what she claimed to want me to do, so. Can't do much about that).

So instead of wallowing I wanted to remind myself (semipermanently?) of all the cool and nice things I experienced this week too!

(Text and photos below the cut)

I saw a really cool hawk at the park today, I think maybe a Cooper's hawk - just a flash of stripy wings and it landed in a tree. Usually I only see red-tailed hawks, and much farther away!

My partner and I planted wildflower seeds a couple months ago, and the Tidy Tips and Baby Blue Eyes (photo 1 below) are not only flourishing but attracting pollinators, and neighbors! A group of teenagers took pictures and a group of tiny kiddos even took some tiny bouquets with them yesterday. Our yard is the only yard with flowers other than the volunteer plants (dominated by brome grasses and filaree, which has cute flowers but isn't native and makes gnarly poky seeds) so it makes me really happy that others are appreciating what we've got growing.

My partner and I work from home most days, and go for walking breaks in our neighborhood. While I went on a walk this afternoon, one older neighbor stopped me to ask if I wanted some of her sage! (She'd noticed we always point to the cool plants in her yard, lol) So I got a free clipping of a native sage to plant.

I saw a ton of gorgeous wildflowers yesterday in a field and identified a new favorite native plant - Bird's Eye Gilia! (Photo 2 below)

I have a super cute cat. (Photo 3 below)

I made a flourless chocolate cake recipe for the first time ever, and it was an amazing success considering I didn't have a 9-in springform pan - instead used two 4.5-in springforms and a dozen muffin cups. I am so proud lol (photo 4 below)
