Kind of wish I could travel more and be more sociable(and hence network) to mathematically increase my chances on getting my hands/sights on Groundnut vine in Ontario. The exhausted frustration just bubbles up when I check sightings on the google maps and the results just make it feel like it grows everywhere in every county but this one.

Either agriculture is eating out its habitat/haunts or the woodlots/forests here grew too dense and shaded out the chances of its existence.

>T I know its a bit childish of me but its just almost maddening to be told/shown a plant is so common yet to seem to be living in the one place its just not around. Its the same feeling with Clematis viginiana and C. occidentalis; why is this county (or area of the county) have to be such an empty vacuum for these species?!

This info should be taken with a grain of salt since this info is affected by its users (which of course would be in the cities, not in little towns) but

it doesn’t make it any less vexing.
