In the shrinking sunlight of early October, life in Central Appalachia's forests and fields shows no signs of slowing down. A proliferation of asters and goldenrods fuels an insect feeding frenzy, at the same time ensuring that a late season eruption of seeds before the first frost will bring new life in the spring. From top: dog tooth lichen (Peltigera canina), also known as felt lichen, whose lobes are tipped by red apothecia ; large cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), which dot wet mountain meadows and bogs; crooked-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum prenanthoides); brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba), which blooms later than black-eyed Susan and has three-lobed basal leaves; a bumblebee (Bombus) taking nectar from purple-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum), also known as swamp aster; an American hoverfly (Eupeodes americanus) similarly drinking from purple-stemmed aster; blue wood aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium); question mark butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis); and wrinkleleaf goldenrod (Solidago rugosa), also known as rough-leaf goldenrod.

History: This jewel-toned gem of the bog is native to North America and a traditional food from Samhain through Yule. Its association with the American Thanksgiving meal is long rooted in tradition, but there is no historical evidence proving it was actually served at that first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims. Despite this, cranberry something or other is commonly found on Thanksgiving and Christmas feast tables all across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Cranberry garlands made by stringing hundreds of the hard round red berries with a needle onto a long sturdy string is a traditional Christmas decoration.

It is considered a sacred fruit in some indigenous circles such as Algonquian and Iroquois.

My Garden Flowers Part 7

All photos mine, unedited.

In order of appearance:

181. Early Goldenrod (Solidago juncea) She's named for flowering earlier than most goldenrods, which tend to flower in late summer to fall, but not all! I've seen others flower earlier.

182. Canadian Fly Honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis) Wasn't expecting her to flower this year, but there she was in the spring! No berries, though, sadly. Maybe next year!

183. Sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

184. Burning Bush (Euonymus atropurpureus) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

185. Mapleleaf viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

186. Veiny Meadow Rue (Thalictrum venulosom) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

187. Wild Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) Not blue like the ones that enchanted me the time I visited my aunt in England, but still very nice.

188. Beggar's Lice (Hackelia virginiana) I didn't plant her and don't keep many now that she's popped up. She's a handsome enough plant but her fruits stick to EVERYTHING and leaves can get sickly from time to time.

189. Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet and probably won't this year because my landlord cut that area. (:

190. Squashberry (Viburnum edule) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

191. Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

192. Virgin's Bower (Clematis ligusticifolia) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

193. Largeleaf Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum macrophyllum) In my opinion she should be named for her rhizome rather than her leaf. The leaves aren't that big but the rhizomes are huge.

194. Twinflower (Linnaea borealis) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet, but she is spreading in a nice little mat.

195. Alpine bistort (Bistorta vivipara) Not pictured as I haven't got pictures yet.

196. Rough Cinquefoil (Potentilla norvegica monspeliensis) I didn't plant this, but she is there regardless! Not pictured as I haven't got pictures yet.

197. Sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina) Not a fern. The leaves are just kind of fernlike.

198. Sundial Lupine (Lupinus perennis) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet. New area for her and we'll see if A) she survives and B) if she doesn't turn out to be bigleaf lupine again.

199. Gray Goldernrod (Solidago nemoralis) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

200. Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) She gets fairly tall and the flowers come up at the top.

201. Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus) Another one that's not native to the area and can't survive the winter, but has been grown here in the summers long before colonization.

202. Tall Cinquefoil (Drymocallis arguta) Very strawberry-like flowers that sit atop the plant.

203. Early Saxifrage (Micranthes virginiensis) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

204. American Sweetflag (Acorus americana) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

205. River Beauty (Chamaenerion latifolium) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

206. Large cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) Don't know if she'll flower again this year, but she did make a couple of berries last year!

207. Heart-Leaved Aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

208. Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.

209. Little Sweet Betsy (Trillium cuneatum) This was supposed to be a different species, but that's okay. She's still native to the range I accept. Her leaves have a lovely natural variegation to them.

210. Woodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata) Nice blue flowers that thrive in shady spots.

The small carnivorous plants bog is going really well! 🌿

It has changed a bit since I set it up. In the set-up video, I had put in Empetrum nigrum and Calluna vulgaris. Unfortunately, both plants died after a while and I can't say what caused this.

I then planted the bottom completely with moss and added Utricularia sandersonii and Utricularia livida.

But the Drosera capensis alba in particular, which can be seen at the front right, has grown really big. In the meantime, it has formed some offshoots and is even flowering! 🌼

Materials I used for this:

Similar glass:

Substrate:

Carnivorous substrate - https://amzn.to/3hxC1Kv

Plants:

Drosera capensis alba

Pinguicula esseriana

Pinguicula weser

Vaccinium macrocarpon

Leucobryum glaucum

ONF Flat Nano Plus

If you would like to see how I set up the terrarium, take a look at my set-up video!

[bonefall]

question! your clanmew fruit guide mentions cranberries, and it’s generally thought that cranberries help lower risk of UTIs and stuff like that in people dogs and cats. would the clans have any knowledge of this?

I have to look into it! I know the studies can be a bit mixed, some say they do lower risk of UTIs, others don't

But most of all I need to check if the compounds in that species of cranberry is the same as the species that Clan cats have access to. The American cranberry is the type that makes up the majority of these studies, but the Clans encounter BOG Cranberry!

American, also called "large cranberry" = Vaccinium macrocarpon

Bog = Vaccinium oxycoccos

I'll get to this research when I finally getting around to the urinary herb guides, which will probably be around the same time I get to the bowel movement guides

La spettacolare raccolta dei mirtilli rossi in Canada.

Si tratta dei “cranberry”, conosciuto come mirtillo rosso americano o ossicocco (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Frutto simbolo delle terre nord americane, è coltivato nelle provincie atlantiche del Paese, la più paludosa.

E quando è il momento della raccolta, da fine settembre a metà ottobre, i campi vengono letteralmente allagati fino a ottenere un’acqua profonda circa 10 centimetri: poi si usano macchine scuotitrici che agitano i cespugli per fare cadere i frutti.

E a questo punto i mirtilli affiorano alla superficie, e galleggiano grazie alle bolle d’aria al loro interno. Così è molto più facile raccoglierli usando una pompa aspiratrice e, inoltre, si crea un panorama davvero spettacolare, con queste distese immense di piccole palline rosse galleggi.

Il mirtillo “annacquato” deve essere lavorato al più presto, perché da bagnato non riesce a conservarsi a lungo come quando è raccolto “a secco”, ed è per questo che questa particolare raccolta viene fatta solo per il prodotto destinato alla lavorazione industriale.

Their Aqua Soothing UV Protector is designed to provide highly effective protection against UVA and UVB rays which can cause premature aging. Key ingredients include coconut oil (hydrating, protects skin, smoothing, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, calms redness, absorbs easily, has some UV ray blocking ability), titanium dioxide (physical sunscreen; protects the skin from UVA/UVB radiation, gentle, good for sensitive and acne-prone skin), zinc oxide (gives skin a protective coating from irritation, promotes healing, astringent, antiseptic), sunflower seed oil unsaponifiables (high in vitamin E, emollient, prevents damage to the skin from UV light, anti-aging, hydrating) and cranberry seed oil (softening, soothing, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, protects against environmental factors, nourishing, has natural sun blocking properties). This product retails for between $23-29 USD, you can get it here for $29 + shipping. You can use code DANNIEL15 to save some money. :)

Ingredients

Water, Zinc Oxide, Cyclohexasiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Methicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Adenosine, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Malus Domestica (Apple) Fruit Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Vanilla Planifolia (Flat-leaved Vanilla) Fruit Extract, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower Water, Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract, Sodium Chloride, Aluminum Hydroxide, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Dimethicone/Phenyl Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Prunus Amygdalus Amara (Bitter Almond) Kernel Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Saccharide Isomerate, Trehalose, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Disodium EDTA, Stearic Acid, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

To quickly note, I received this for free from Wishtrend for my honest review.

The UV protector comes in a plastic squeeze bottle like normal and contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and is fragrance-free.

The product is very easy to dispense and it's very convenient.

The sunblock is not watery or anything, but it's pretty lightweight.

The sunblock does blend out a fair amount but is still fairly streaky. This, while somewhat frustrating, is a sign of an effective sunblock as it does leave somewhat of a layer and doesn't just absorb in like a moisturizer.

It's not the most moisturizing, but it does have some chalkiness to it.

The layer is a little bit visible and so I do think this will flash back if you're using flash photography.

Recommended use is to dispense an adequate amount of the SPF on areas such as the face, neck, arms, and hand during your last step of skincare. Apply as often as necessary in order to maintain sun protection. Suitable for daily use and meant for dry to normal skin. This sunblock is cruelty-free, pH balanced, and free of artificial coloring, fragrances, and ethanol. It’s also vegan-friendly. While designed for dry to normal skin, this one may be ideal for oily to combination skin. This is a physical sunscreen that's hypoallergenic and is a non-chemical filter. After using, while I don't typically notice physical sunscreens very often if they are pretty moisturizing, this formula is a little drier and does take some time to absorb into the skin and look less dry. After it does absorb, my skin looked very radiant and bright, but it's very apparent I'm wearing sunblock after application. It has a typical sunscreen scent and a chalkiness to it. So it does have some streaking that does take some time to blend in. The ingredients are quite nice with the exception of one irritant. I didn't notice any irritation on my skin as a result of using this, however, it does ball up on the skin, so in my opinion, this may not be the best to wear under makeup as it may cause makeup to ball up. I do think this would be best for lighter skin as it's less obvious and has less of a cast on it. I do find it long-wearing and very effective but I'd recommend this to people with oily and combination skin as I really don't think it's the best fit for dry skin.

What I like: once it really melts into the skin, it really does leave the skin looking hydrated and it really lasts a long time and is easy to reapply. What I don't like: it's harder to blend in and is kind of chalky and streaky. It really isn't the best for my skin type personally but I can see this working on oily skin. It has a pretty obvious cast on it and I think this would be hard to hide if you have darker skin. It also balls up and so it may not be the best base for makeup.

Pros:

Hydrating

Adds radiance

After melting in, the complexion looks great

Lovely ingredients

Long-wearing

Fragrance-free

Sensitive skin friendly

Vegan

Cons:

Leaves a cast

Balls up on the skin

Isn't really ideal for dry skin

Would I buy this?

Probably not

Wisconsin, productor del secreto que evita infecciones urinarias y gastrointestinales

La temporada más recomendada para cultivar y disfrutar de las cranberries es entre septiembre y noviembre debido a las condiciones climáticas.  Las cranberries tienen un gran contenido de vitamina C, D, A, Hierro, Potasio y compuestos naturales que son antioxidantes y ayudan a prevenir la presencia de agentes microbianos en el tracto urinario, gastrointestinal y en la boca. “Las propiedades del cranberry o arándano americano (Vaccinium macrocarpon) para prevenir y tratar la cistitis se atribuyen a sus proantocianidinas (PAC), que impiden que las bacterias, especialmente la E. coli, se adhieran a las paredes del tracto urinario hasta en un 80% evitando la aparición de infecciones urinarias”, así lo indica un estudio sobre Cistitis y Salud Sexual del Centro de Investigación sobre Fitoterapia. Aunque la mayoría de los esfuerzos se han concentrado en estudiar las bondades de los arándanos rojos asociadas a las infecciones urinarias, también investigan los efectos para prevenir o aliviar enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer, úlceras y gastritis. Según el Servicio Nacional de Estadísticas Agrícolas (USDA por sus siglas en Inglés) en 2023, Wisconsin produjo 5,01 millones de barriles de arándanos rojos o cranberries, un aumento respecto a los 4,80 barriles del 2020, esta tendencia indica que, además del queso y la cerveza el ‘Badger State’ genera otros productos que mueven enormemente la economía y que ofrecen bondades desconocidas para muchos. Las cranberries son cultivadas en Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregón, Rhode Island, Washington, sin embargo, el 60% de la producción total del país se cultiva en Wisconsin. Durante el invierno, los pantanos se inundan y con el hielo crean una capa que protege las plantas de la intemperie, en la primavera se drenan las flores y son polinizadas, en el verano los pétalos se caen y empieza a brotar la flor que pronto será un arándano y es en el otoño cuando los frutos crecen y muestran su característico color rojo.

Exploring the Nutritional Power of Cranberries: Nature’s Superfood

Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) are a remarkable fruit known for their vibrant color and powerful health benefits. This evergreen shrub produces dark red berries that are small, hard, and round, with a distinctive bitter and sour flavor. Despite their intense taste, cranberries are celebrated as a "superfood" due to their rich nutrient profile and impressive antioxidant content.

Nutrient-Rich Profile

Cranberries are packed with essential vitamins and minerals. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is crucial for immune function, skin health, and collagen production. Additionally, cranberries provide a good amount of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut. The presence of vitamin E, vitamin K, and various B vitamins further enhances their nutritional value.

Antioxidant Powerhouse

One of the most notable attributes of cranberries is their high antioxidant content. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect the body from oxidative stress and reduce inflammation. Cranberries are rich in proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and polyphenols, all of which contribute to their powerful antioxidant properties. These compounds play a vital role in preventing chronic diseases and promoting overall health.

Health Benefits

Regular consumption of cranberries can offer numerous health benefits:

Urinary Tract Health: Cranberries are well-known for their ability to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The proanthocyanidins in cranberries prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract, reducing the risk of infection.

Heart Health: The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of cranberries support cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels, and improving overall heart function.

Digestive Health: The fiber content in cranberries aids in digestion and helps maintain regular bowel movements. Additionally, cranberries promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

In conclusion, cranberries are a nutritional powerhouse that provides a wide range of health benefits. Their rich nutrient profile and high antioxidant content make them an excellent addition to a healthy diet, reinforcing their status as one of nature's true superfoods.

Species I’m trying again this year after failed past attempt(s)!

Antennaria neglecta (Field pussytoes) Was planted in late summer and I was kept from watering it adequately.

Argentina anserina (Silverweed) No idea why they didn’t survive where I put them, but try, try again, elsewhere this time.

Artemisia frigida (Fringed sagebrush) First time ended up being white sage brush instead; second time plug was on its last legs on arrival, died soon after.

Chamaenerion angustifolium (Fireweed) Going to try this in yet another spot.

Dennstaedtia punctiloba (Hay-scented fern) Supposed to be aggressive! Mine was not. Maybe the one I get this year.

Dioscorea villosa (Wild yam) Planted the tuber but it never came up.

Glycyrrhiza lepidota (Wild licorice) Squirrels...Dug it up and broke the stem.

Lupinus polyphyllus (Big-leaf lupine) Leafed out nicely for its first and second year and then just didn’t come up again after its second winter.

Maianthemum racemosum (False Solomon’s seal) Squirrels! Dug it up and broke the stem.

Pteridium aquilinum latiusculum (Western bracken fern) I put it in a dry shady spot, as recommended, and it died.

Rudbeckia hirta (Black-eyed Susan) SQUIRRELS!!! Dug it up and while I was visiting home and it dried out. Couldn’t revive it.

Silene acaulis (Moss campion) Sunny, wet, amongst rocks. Check, check, check, but they keep dying on me.

Sisyrinchium montanum (Blue-eyed grass) Two places tried, two place died. I shall try a third place this year.

Viola pubescens (Downy yellow violet) FUCKING. SQUIRRELS. Dug it up while I was at work and left it to scorch and dry out in the sun. Couldn’t revive it.

Species I’m getting again because I’m fairly sure mine didn’t make it

Apocynum cannabinum (Hemp dogbane) It might not have gotten enough sunlight thanks to the white mulberry that grew over. I’ll try it in a different area.

Sagittaria latifolia (Duck potato) It may come up after all but I don’t want to take the chance of planting too late if it doesn’t.

Sparganium americanum (American bur-reed) Not sure why, but we’ll try again this year. And I may yet be surprised.

Symplocarpus foetidus (Skunk cabbage) It’s possible it’s just young and takes longer to come up than it would if it were more mature, but I don’t want to take chances since there’s only one place I can get them at.

Cranberries can bounce, float and pollinate themselves: The saucy science of a Thanksgiving classic
