Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. I apologize for not posting for a while. It has been a weird summer for sure with the heat and drought. I was busy with the garden picking sweet corn and green beans right up until August 17. Somehow I managed to get 455 ears of sweet corn in the freezer, and thanks to the ‘Provider’ green beans, 34 quarts of green beans. Of course, not all the…

Saw a Solidago today that was crawling with yellow and black insects.

Image ID. Some yellow goldenrod flowers with a bunch of bugs on it. End ID.

At first I thought it was just the beetles (locust borers, Megacyllene robiniae), but there were also a couple wasps (Polistes sp. and somebody from Halictidae) and wasp mimic hover flies (probably Spilomyia).

Image ID. Closer shots of the bugs in question. All are striped in bright yellow and black, but they are a beetle, a bee, a fly, and a wasp. End ID.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

STOP HATING ON GOLDENROD

Hay fever is not caused by this ecologically and culturally significant plant (solidago sp). The allergy demon you should be mad at is ragweed (ambrosia sp.). Many goldenrods are native to North america, and are important food sources for pollinators and insects, and also have been used as a food source and in teas by Indigenous peoples.

Goldenrods

22-Aug-2023

Fun Fact: Goldenrod does NOT cause seasonal allergies!

At this time of year, I am suffering from seasonal allergies (ಥ_ಥ). And in honor of these seasonal allergies, I’d like to clear the good name of an innocent plant which has long been blamed for seasonal allergies.

Ahem:

Goldenrod is INNOCENT!!!!!

(I love goldenrod (Solidago spp.) and WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS SLANDER)

Now, that isn’t to say that no one is allergic to goldenrod, at all. Some people are, indeed, allergic to this plant, but it is relatively rare and only cause reactions when direct physical contact takes place. These goldenrod allergies do NOT cause the stuffy noses and watery eyes that seasonal allergy sufferers are familiar with (and which I am currently suffering from 😭😭😭😭).

(an innocent bystander 😔)

“But wait!”, you may say, “Every year, without fail, seasonal allergies attack just as the goldenrod begins to bloom!” And this is a fair assumption! There are many times in life where the things we see are causing the things we experience. However, in this case, seasonal allergies and goldenrod flowers are connected by correlation, not causation.

How can I be so sure? Well, because goldenrod pollen is not airborne!

(they’re so good, so pure, so not-currently-attacking-my-airways)

Goldenrod is a plant which is pollinated by animals, primarily insects. Because of this, its pollen is big, heavy, delicious and can’t make it too far from the plant, even with a BIG gust of wind. Instead, an insect covered in goldenrod pollen will fly to a different goldenrod plant, transporting and delivering the pollen in a highly efficient manner, because that is where the plant intends for the pollen to go! Really, goldenrod pollen is unlikely to ever get into your nose (unless you sprinkle it in directly).

Instead, the culprit for your seasonal allergies is MUCH more likely to be an enemy you may have heard of: ragweed.

(*holds up sign that says “Audience Boos”*)

It just so happens that ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) and goldenrod (Solidago spp.) both bloom around the same time, and in the same sorts of environments.

Goldenrod is bright yellow and extremely conspicuous, while ragweed.... well, it doesn’t exactly jump out, visually:

(I circled and labelled them because the ragweed doesn’t exactly… pop out of the picture. ©Janet Allen)

People notice their allergies and then notice the highly conspicuous goldenrod, and they consider the mystery solved. Meanwhile the ragweed remains, hidden in plain sight and the TRUE guilty party.

Ragweed is my eternal enemy the most common cause of seasonal allergies in North America. One reason for that is because ragweed, rather than being pollinated by insects, is instead pollinated via wind, which basically means the plants produce a LOT of very tiny, airborne pollen (about a billion particles per plant), and just hopes that one lands on a different ragweed plant eventually, travelling up to 600 km away. Unfortunately for allergy sufferers, the vast majority of the pollen does not make it to another plant  and apparently ends up in my nose instead.

(things that do cause my allergies: ragweed, horses, and mold spores. Things that do NOT cause my allergies: goldenrod.)

Now, I am being a little bit mean to ragweed here, but in my defence, I cannot currently breathe through my nose as a direct result of ragweed, and it has put me in a mean sort of mood (ಠ╭╮ಠ). this is my villain origin story.

That said, I would be remiss not to mention that ragweed is native to North America (although they are VERY invasive in many other places in the world), and so it...  I’m sure... that ragweed... it contributes... to the ecosystem... somehow... and we should respect it... instead of assigning... subjective value judgements... to nature (I say, shaking, crying, visibly pained).

(a bumblebee (Bombus sp.) enjoying some goldenrod 🥰)

Goldenrod, on the other hand, is native to North America and is ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS, simply because pollinators LOVE these flowers! I can sit for literal HOURS at a single plant, watching the dozens of different pollinators coming and going. It is also invasive in many other places in the world but THIS ISN’T ABOUT THAT 😭😉😉😉

This has been Fun Fact Friday, where I will defend the honour of goldenrod with my life!

(also: guys there are SO MANY pictures of goldenrod on the internet mislabeled as ragweed, it’s actually blowing my mind. Stock image sites are particularly terrible about this. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH.)

Some kinda goldenrod - Solidago sp.

[cedar-glade]

Ohio River Valley was known for extreme diversity in it’s early years before honeysuckle, winter creeper, winged burning bush, and kudzu were promoted by the early horticultural horrors of the European settlers. Widening of the river and promotion of power plants, mills, and locks meant many of the natural features would be gone forever. Limestone Glades/ barrens of the Ohio River Valley on the Indiana and Kentucky side, found as vestigial remnants housed in state parks are the last refugial locations for native populations of this species of Goldenrod. 

Short’s Goldenrod,

Solidago shortii, 

many of you are familiar with long seasonal much larger CV. called ‘Golden Cascade’ that is still around today from the early “poach that sport ol’ chap” era of the early 1900′s where many species were locally extirpated from counties. 

Because of it’s past history, it’s lack of habitat, the distance between populations, the lack of genetic vigor, and the population sizes them selves. It has been put on the Federally Threatened species list along with a few other Solidago sp. that you may have seen on this blog( White haired GR, Blue Ridge GR). 

It is named after Dr. Charles Wilkins Short whom’st’ve first discovered this plant in 1840 growing on a limestone outcrop called Rock Island within the Falls of the Ohio River(RIP) near Louisville, Kentucky. Plants at this original site disappeared in the early 1900s, at least in part because dam construction on the Ohio River destroyed the habitat. The only know populations of this goldenrod today are the Blue Lick Springs area of northeastern Kentucky (14 populations in Fleming, Nicholas and Robertson Counties) and along the Blue River in Harrison-Crawford State Forest in southern Indiana (1 population) and a population near Clifty Falls State Park( 1 Population aka this one).

Its old common name according to the Grimm's short tale of the same name is "Our Lady's Little Glass." The story in its entirety: "Once upon a time a waggoner's cart which was heavily laden with wine had stuck so fast that in spite of all that he could do, he could not get it to move again. Then it chanced that Our Lady just happened to come by that way, and when she perceived the poor man's distress, she said to him, 'I am tired and thirsty, give me a glass of wine, and I will set thy cart free for thee.' 'Willingly,' answered the waggoner, 'but I have no glass in which I can give thee the wine.' Then Our Lady plucked a little white flower with red stripes, called field bindweed, which looks very like a glass, and gave it to the waggoner. He filled it with wine, and then Our Lady drank it, and in the self-same instant the cart was set free, and the waggoner could drive onwards. The little flower is still always called Our Lady's Little Glass."Forget-me-not Myostis scorpoides, Myostis sylvatica Eyes of MaryForsythia Forsythia suspensa Easter BushFoxglove Digitalis purpurea Our Lady's GlovesFuchsiaFuchsia speciosa                         Christ's Blood Drops or Our Lady's EardropsGeranium Pelargonium (dom) Lady BeautifulGeraniumPelargonium sp.

The Crataegus Oxyacantha praecox variety is the plant of England's "Glastonbury Thorn" -- a plant of Mediterranean origin but which, in Somerset, blooms twice: at Easter and at Christmas. It, therefore, has become a symbol of Christmas. The Glastonbury Thorn is said to have arisen when St. Joseph of Arimathea thrust his hawthorn staff into the ground in Somersetshire. The original plant was destroyed by Puritans (the soldier who did the chopping is said to have been struck in the eye by a large splinter from the tree), but shoots from it were taken, and England's Glastonbury Thorn lives. Since 1929, blossoms from the Glastonbury Thorn are sent to England's Monarchs for their table on Christmas Day.Heather Calluna vulgaris                         Lady's Adversary                         Holly (Christmas Holly)Ilex opaca. var.                         Christmas Holly

Note: The Venerable Bede (A.D. 672-735) described the white petals as symbols of Mary's body, and the golden anthers as symbols of the glory of her soul. Roses and lilies were said to have filled Mary's empty tomb when it was opened by the Apostles. While lilies' association with purity cause them to be depicted with many Saints, such as SS. Francis and Claire, they are most strongly associated with St. Joseph, whose rod is said, in the Gospel of the Nativity of Mary, to have blossomed to prove he was worthy to guard Mary and become her spouse; with St. Anthony of Padua, because lilies left in chuches on his Feast Day miraculously remained fresh during the French Revolution; and with the archangel Gabriel, who is depicted as presenting Mary with the lily at the Annunciation (hence the name "Annunciation Lily"). Lilies are also associated with Solomon's Temple (III Kings 7:19-22), and their beauty is commented on by Christ Himself (Luke 12:27).Maltese CrossLychnis chalcedonica "Maltese Cross" (or "Jerusalem Cross").

Note: The Rose symbolizes Mary herself (she is known as "The Mystical Rose," see

) and is described in Dante's Paradiso when the guide asks him to contemplate Mary, "Why are you so enamored of my face that you do not turn your gaze to the beautiful garden which blossoms under the radiance of Christ? There is the Rose in which the Divine word became flesh: here are the lilies whose perfume guides you in the right ways."

Roses and lilies were said to have filled Mary's empty tomb when it was opened by the Apostles.

Roses are also associated with SS. Dorothy and Thérèse of Lisieux (who both send roses from Heaven), Elizabeth of Hungary, and Rose of Lima. St. Francis once threw himself on the thorns of a rosebush as penance. Since then, the rosebushes in that garden (near the cloister of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi) have no thorns.

I have been rescuing native goldenrods (Solidago sp.) from places like cracks in the sidewalk, margins of parking lots, and flowerbeds around town where they are treated as weeds and pulled out or sprayed with weed killer.

This one was tiny when I planted it, and it’s now in its second year. It’s much taller than me and has more stems than I can count. It is supporting all sorts of bees and other insects, and it is successfully out-competing the invasive thistle (Cirsium arvense) that was virtually the only plant growing here when I planted it.

October 24-25 Wildflower ID…

Solidago sp. (Goldenrod) in the main hayfield on 10-24-21, #851-8. Hello everyone! This is not exactly a normal time of the year to be identifying wildflowers on the farm here in west-central Missouri. Normally, we have had an “F” by now and most everything is dead or dying. Trees that turn bright colors, like many maple cultivars, are still green. The old maple in “the other yard” is changing…

[walkinthewoodsllc]

On this hazy, hot and humid day afternoon, I make time ‘n’ space to sit quietly with intention, and bind up some prayer sticks. These are the August blend of Artemisia vulgaris, Artemisia ludoviciana, and Solidago sp. that our little acre offers. To my way of thinking it’s a beautiful relationship between these three botanicals, and my relationship with them, and their relationship with me.
