Another Sketch from along the Camino de Santiago. This was the first first week of June and the red poppy fields were amazing! The approach to Castrojeriz I found particularly beautiful with the ancient castle on top of the hill. You can even walk up to the ruins on top of that hill, if you somehow have the energy after your day of walking.

•

There is also a lovely museum of sacred art at the Santa Maria del Manzano ( Saint Mary of the Apple!) which is the church in this painting. It was actually open at 8 AM in the morning when I slothfully left my Albergue.

•

Anybody know why the church is called “Saint Mary of the Apple?” Maybe there used to be orchards here…?

•

I’m back home now, but I’m still posting some paintings and sketches. All my oil paintings were done after I finished walking the Camino when I had a rental car to carry my equipment.

As always, make sure to practice foraging safety and don’t eat unless you’re 100% certain you identified the plant correctly.

ID: Crotalaria pallida

Common name: Streaked rattlepod, smooth rattlebox

🚨 Invasive

💩

While we do have a few native Crotalaria species in Florida, this isn’t one of them. It seems that this species was introduced to the southeast US as a green manure crop, which led me down a research rabbit hole.

💩

I thought manure always referred to animal poop, but it turns out there are three types of manure. I knew about brown manure (poop), and I know what compost is (though I didn’t know it was technically classified as manure). But with no real gardening or farming background, the concept of green manure was completely new to me.

💩

Green manure refers to plants that are grown specifically to be plowed back into the soil while they’re still alive. Usually legumes (such as C. pallida) are used, because they’re nitrogen fixers, which means that they will release nitrogen to fertilize the soil.

💩

Pretty cool plant science, but if native legumes had been used, then we wouldn’t be having a problem with this particular species competing with the plants that were here first.

Word of the Week One of our classes learned about this one during fieldwork last week. Invasive Species: a species that has been introduced to an area and that causes significant economic, social, and/or ecological impacts once established. #invasivespecies #invasiveplants #sciencewords #wordoftheweek

This little rogue cutie is called Bellis Perennis or Common Daisy. They planted them at the park in front of our little chateau. They needed a lawn that could withstand rain and heavy trampling that would grow faster than grass. Seeing has these tiny flowers can grow pretty fast and can be a little invasive they picked these for all of the grass areas. It looks amazing and is always green with flowers all year long, even after rainy soccer games, rainy events, and rainy parties (it rains a lot). This lawn gas really held up and the kids love picking the flowers too.

An update today! I have to pick up my meds from the pharmacy today, they can’t hold it any longer. Thankfully I’m able to stay another night where I am. But I will need further assistance.

I hate to tag yall again, happy pride month-if you’re able to share this and interact in any way to the videos and posts above, that would mean a lot. Or even drop a dollar, it would do wonders to help me extend my hotel stay past Monday.

🚫🌿✋Invasive Plant PSA! ✋🌿🚫⠀ ⠀ This is Mile-a-minute, also known as Asiatic Tearthumb (because it has tiny little hooks that will GET you). It is spread via birds eating the little blue berries and pooping the seeds elsewhere. It grows extremely quickly (as the name implies) and will cover and choke out other herbaceous plants, and climb anything it can get its hooks into. Luckily it is extremely distinctive, with near perfect triangles for leaves, defined ocreae, and the aforementioned blue berries. ⠀ If you see this plant--pull it up (with gloves)! (If you live in North America or outside it's native range.) Preferably early in the summer before it goes to seed and spreads more of itself! It is an annual, so it won't resprout, but you may need to come back and check that spot next year in the event it is in the seedbank (this one was!) and grows again.⠀ ⠀ Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have questions! <3⠀ ⠀ #invasiveplant #mileaminute #asiatictearthumb #killit #psa #nature #naturalresourcemanagement #virginiastateparks https://www.instagram.com/p/CQddJxmjwi7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Your invasive species are another place's native

don't shit on them so much; you make people feel the species are useless everywhere

Fridays are Buflegrass days. I meet up with a group and work for a few hours in the Gates Pass area. Worked today near the”Mega Patch” which is a huge near hopeless area of Buflegrass. Decided to just clear out one small area around a Saguaro. At least if the patch catches fire this Saguaro could survive 🌵😁

ID: Praxelis clematidea

Common name: n/a

🚨Invasive in FL

💜

While this flower is pretty, it is best enjoyed in its native range of Argentina, Bolivia, southern Brazil, and some other parts of South America.

💜

Praxelis clematidea spreads quickly, and like many other non-native plants, it can disrupt the ecosystem, threatening the plants and animals that are supposed to be in a certain area.

💜

I initially had a hard time distinguishing this from our native mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum), so I went back to get a closer look at the plant. The hairy stem clued me in, and if I wanted further confirmation, I could have crushed a leaf to see if it emitted a foul odor of cat urine.

💜

This plant was first observed in Florida in 2006. It was found in an abandoned orange grove here in Orange County and thought to have been accidentally imported as part of a shipment of landscaping products. Since then, it has spread and has been observed in 13 counties in Florida.

It's interesting what kids pay attention to. I was in the middle of a meeting at @urbanecologycenter #riversidepark and I got a couple texts from my son (9 yrs old) who was off exploring, which the space invites. I'm thinking something is wrong and then see he's reporting that he thinks they have the "bad plant" #bka the dangerous #invasiveplant we'd recently seen online #gianthogweed He soon appeared and the meeting was paused for the UEC staff to assure him the plant he found was safe. I hadn't realized what we read about would have him being so careful and observant #pleasantsurprise She did also share that they do let poison ivy grow away from the main areas because it's a #nativeplant to #wisconsin #whoknew 😊 Besides a productive meeting we stopped and looked at the lone #caterpillar roaming while overhead a ton of others had already formed their #chrysalis 🐛 What are you doing today? Drop in for a visit, check out the #artshow and so much more! #greatwaytospendasaturday oh and there's still the #bookgiveaway happening too 😁📚 (at Urban Ecology Center, Riverside Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tKvYblj21/?igshid=1n3po0kalf3qj

Tiny bees! I was getting ready to pull this plant, as Dame’s Rocket is invasive, until I saw the tiny bee hard at work. I thought, Hey! I should photograph and identify this so that I can learn some native bees other than the giant carpenter bees that guard our back door. So I looked them up and... they are small carpenter bees. 😆 I mean, not as in a smaller or younger version of the carpenter bees chewing holes in our woodwork, but a genus of bees that are collectively referred to as small carpenter bees. Well, I guess at least the name will be easy to remember! . . #nativebees #invasiveplant #damesrocket #smallcarpenterbee #nativebee #michigannature #mybackyard https://www.instagram.com/p/Byn3N0vAZYd/?igshid=1esygeqnuwf9

厄介な雑草としてひどく忌み嫌われる葛だが、こんなにも美しい花を咲かせる。万物は一面だけでは存在しない。別の角度から見ると、また見方も変わってくるものだ。逆立ちすれば答えがわかる。 Although it's a Kudzu hated terribly as a nuisance weed, but such a beautiful flower blooms. All things don't exist on only one side. Looking at it from another angle, viewpoint also changes. Having a handstand stands out the answer. -・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・-・- #Kudzu #PuerariaLobata #WildFlower #Flower #LateSummer #September #InvasiveSpecies #InvasivePlant #クズ #葛 #トキイロクズ #鴇色葛 #野花 #花 #夏 #侵略的外来種 #THEBOOM
