I told myself going into the bulb catalog that I didn’t need to order daffodils as technically I have access to charming Narcissus and if I REALLY wanted daffs I could dig up some charming daffs at my Uncles.
But hard to say no to a DWARF daffodil cultivar that’s known to be super floriferous!
I am a fucking crow when it comes to decorative objects; if its colourful, shiny, and/or sparkly, you bet your ass my want for it grows a bit too strong for my own self control to contain.
CAW CAW GIMME SHINYS AND SPARKLIES!!!!
Good on mom to notice the Tulipa tarda on sale in that catalog. That’s a species I’ve wanted for a looong loooong time.
Apparently Blackberry lilies are a species that’s warm-germinated and is advised to be sown midwinter indoors??- or maybe not. There’s a bit of contradiction info source to source.
After browsing/scouring through that inaturalist app I discovered that in fact, there are sightings/documentations of several plant species for my locality (just not groundnut vine of course) on the app. What’s interesting is the fact most of the species are ones I would not the least bit expect to exist anywhere in my county, said surprising species include;
Checking the map, it appears that some are not only in this county, but are not far from some of the closestby towns, PLUS potentially Ellice Swamp (you can’t map marker THAT close to Gadshill with wetland species and NOT be referring to Ellice Swamp). It is also interesting to note that some species were NOT on the county’s map sightings (Christmas Fern and Canadian Hemlock being the big two, almost concerning me just a bit).
Most of these species I’ve listed I’d only be able to find in spring or summer, not to mention most of them are absolutely-do-not-collect/touch plants whether due to sensitivity/rarity and/or just because they are on biologically protected land (The sundew and the orchids I can say that with an absolute certainty; do not even touch, even seedpods are off limits).
That being said though, seeing some of these species listed for this county gives me some hope that I may one day find them in some local woodlots (Claytonia and Green Dragon being the ones I’m holding the most hope for; their habitat preferences tend to overlap Trillium and Jack in the Pulpit territories in most ecological data). The do-not-touch species tbh I would just enjoy to just see with my own eyes and I’d be satisfied. Guess we’ll see in the future won’t we?

Lemme emphasize that if you’re gut is telling you to do something and doing said thing isn’t harmful or troublesome, definitely do it. It may cover your ass.
I can’t give details of the example that happened today cause [Not allowed to give Details], but lemme just say that my gut said “get prepared/study for [this] as thoroughly as possible” and I did just that and it paid off when I was knowing more than the people I expected to know more about [this] than me, which helped deal with some specific confusion that was throwing a monkey wrench in things. If my gut had been wrong about this it still wouldn’t have caused any trouble (it would’ve just meant that I was still sharp and on my toes) so I’m glad I heeded my gut.
Your sixth sense sometimes can be pretty on the dot. If you can heed it and its not really trouble, then do it.
Tree propagation ban mildly lifted if we find Magnolia acuminata seeds tomorrow
