Wild red elderberries 🍒 thrive in cool forests 🌲. Beautiful but toxic when raw ⚠️, they must be cooked to enjoy. Birds love them 🐦, spreading seeds and brightening nature’s palette 🌿.

English Ivy (Hedera helix) 🌿
Great for making syrup — this time-honored herb has long been used to ease coughs and help clear stubborn phlegm. A gentle reminder of how plants support us in times of need.
Thank you for walking the plant path with me 🌿

Step into the legend of the Amanita—one of the world’s most iconic and storied mushrooms, celebrated in art, folklore, and forest lore for centuries.🍄

In short: Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds contain LSA, traditionally used in Mesoamerican rituals for divination. While they can produce altered states, modern use carries risks from both natural side effects and chemical seed treatments, so caution is essential.

🌿 Poison Oak in the Seasonal Shift 🍂
As summer winds down, Poison Oak begins changing — its green leaves often turning hints of red, orange, or yellow. This is a good time to refresh your eye and remember: “Leaves of three, let it be.”
✨ Quick tips:
• Wash skin, clothes, and tools right away if you think you’ve brushed against it.
• Oatmeal baths, Plantain, or Jewelweed can help soothe irritation.
With a little awareness, we can continue enjoying the outdoors safely as the seasons change.
Thank you for walking the plant path with me🌿

Tall beauty, gentle healer 🌸—the hollyhock (Alcea rosea) has graced gardens for centuries. Traditionally, its petals and roots were brewed to soothe sore throats, calm skin irritation, and bring a touch of old-world charm to cottage gardens.
