Thanks Joseph. How do you learn this stuff?

Thanks Joseph. How do you learn this stuff? I have no formal training in botany. I have read just about every post on this forum for the past seven years. In the case of Oyster Plant, it's one of my favorite flowers. In a few weeks its seed heads will fill my valley, and the summer tourists will be asking me, at the farmer's market, to identify it for them. The flowers are inconspicuous, but those seed heads really stand out. Supposedly it's edible. There's a breeding project for me if I ever feel like I don't have enough. Don't worry. Last spring, I planted a medicinal herb, and I've been waiting for it to flower, so that I can take a photo and ask, "What is this?" |

Some people eat the young leaves, but the root is the real deal; it does taste not unlike oysters, a tasty addition to soup; similar to Scorzonera in flavor and use.

Few more to ask about.    I feel like I knew w the last 2 but they are slipping my mind. Also the old house closed today and it's now the new owners. They should be starting drywall at the new house this week too. Man end of summer can't come fast enough. Did I mention that living in an apartment sucks? |

Beats an underpass all to hell, though.

There you go: silver lining; not sure there'd be fewer neighbors these days, though.

I have yet another one for you. I thought it was day Lily's bc they grow wild around here. Then I saw a few with swollen stems. Any idea.   Also here is a picture of the stargazer Lily's that I dug last minute from the old house. They don't seem to mind the pot at all. I barley got them in time. About an hour and a half before the new owner signed. The other realtor stopped by for a final walk through and started to get an attitude. He said you can't take the flowers. Then I said I'm not its a few bulbs not flowers. He didn't seem to be a fan of that. Lol. But a least a dozen were left so he didn't push it.  |
