Yet more gifts of Appalachian summer.

I've been on a mission to catalogue as many of Central Appalachia's summer wildflowers and berries as possible for an online project I'm starting up. Above is the haul from yesterday, including the stunning orange-fringed orchid (Platanthera ciliaris), a grand summer orchid of Appalachia's wet seeps and meadows. Downy rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens), another of our summer-blooming orchids, may not be quite as showy, but its intricately-patterned leaves are quite striking. Turk's-cap lily (Lilium superbum) is also in bloom in our local wet meadows and swamps. It's distinguished from its close cousin Canada lily by more strongly recurved petals and a green, star-like pattern in the center of its flowers. A single Turk's cap lily can produce dozens of flowers from its rangy stems. At home in moist woodland edges and streambanks, summer phlox (Phlox paniculata), sometimes also referred to as fall phlox and garden phlox, produces loads of gorgeous pink or white flowers from mid-July through September. Because this phlox is commonly planted in gardens nowadays, it's hard to know if plants in the wild are true natives or escapees.

Been a bit since I’ve shown my cookie run ocs, so here’s a new one! Their name is Skullcap Cookie, and they’re the gravekeeper for the Dessert Kingdom, as well as the primary caretaker of its Memorial Gardens.

They love both life and death, constantly fascinated by everything it entails. They could easily talk about specific blooming times of cold weather flowers and then switch to which parts of a cookie decay faster than the rest.

I just don't feel in balance unless I'm grounded and channeling the four directions.

DRAKEN

“My religious trauma isn’t that bad.”

Bro you got into acting which is something you’ve always wanted to get into; but you‘ve been on the verge of throwing up and shitting yourself for the past twelve hours because you held one (1) prop gun for maybe fifteen minutes and now you’re spiraling because you’re worried about losing your purity because violent movies are Evil and Satanic (even though you watch them literally all the time and write graphic whump).
