“Sing For The Oak Tree The Monarch Of The Wood; Sing For The Oak Tree That Groweth Broad And Good;

“Sing for the oak tree The Monarch of the wood; Sing for the oak tree That groweth broad and good; That groweth green and branching Within the forest shade; That groweth now, and yet shall grow When we are lowly laid.”

— The Oak Tree, Mary Howitt (via worldofcelts)

Teach your children to respect animals and the world around them. Teach them that nature isn't their toy and that their actions have consequences. Teach them compassion for other beings and creatures.

2013 Jewelweed (Impatiens Capensis) And Witch’s Hair (Cuscuta)
2013 Jewelweed (Impatiens Capensis) And Witch’s Hair (Cuscuta)

2013 Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and Witch’s Hair (Cuscuta)

Jewelweed: we found this growing wild on our property, down by the river. A lovely, carefree native annual. It had a bigger year in 2013 than in 2014, but hopefully it will do well in 2015. There is scant and not-particularly robust research to support the tradition of using these to soothe poison ivy and other skin ailments. 

The second photo shows Witch’s Hair aka Cuscuta (the orange twining stuff), literally sucking the life out of some Jewelweed b/c it’s a true parasitic plant. It communicates with the host plant (there’s a great exchange of mRNA between the two), and ends up sucking water and nutrients, while giving nothing back in exchange. At least, not that we know of now. I’d make a wild guess that this is Cuscuta gronovii, but I really have no idea. Anyone know?
