Hello everybody! I am from the beautiful mountains of Northeast Tennessee, which are currently in a state of color shift, seed making and metamorphosis! anyway I have been an avid gardener since I was about 7. I have collected and sorted through sooo many different types of plants, herbs, fungi, and trees/shrubs. even mosses and lichens to some extent, although im not familiar with the latin for most of them. where I live hosts many many beautiful plant spirits everywhere you cast your gaze. phalaris grass grows along a pond and the roadside 20 feet away. prairie bundleflower thrives in a isolated clearing leading up to a water tower on our mountain. a little further up the mountain and all the way up to the top wild passion flower is plentiful and paints the sacred green landscape with purple and pinkish white brushstrokes for several months of the year. and blackberries and black rasberries all summer long! I love all kinds of plants for many reasons. herbal folk medicine. food source and spiritual enhancement/advancement. nice to meet you all! may the spirits within our plant allies bring us peace and strength together! :-)
