I picked a few of each and thanked Gaia for her gifts of nature. If you are knowledgeable about these flowers, trees and fruit let me know what I should do with them spell wise (I will most likely dry them out). I am pretty sure the mulberries will be eaten before I even get to keep them (thanks to curious husband and kids).
Also just want to shout out to the completely free app Plantnet on the App Store it works like a charm for identifying many species of plants, flowers, herbs, fruit and veges and more…
Everything looks absolutely gorgeous @TheMuslimWitch- I’m always in awe of the stunning wild and plant life you are blessed with there! It’s really fun to see the pictures
The identification apps are truly a blessing and they really come in handy for hobby plant spotting, but I would hesitate to trust them 100%. I’ve heard that they’re not always accurate (there’s an article here that says that one app they tested was only 35% accurate )- which, if you’re just using it for fun is harmless, but could mean sickness or even death if you accidentally use or consume a poisonous plant.
Just watching out for a friend here- please be very careful if you choose to use any plants you forage from the wild!
I see a few that sound/look familiar, but plants are tricky little buggers haha- I’ve learned that just because I know a plant at home, when I switch countries I’m starting over from zero. For example, it turns out that sweet delicious chestnuts in the USA and Japan aren’t the same as chestnuts here in Europe- the chestnuts here are poisonous. Go figure!
But while I hesitate to try to identify or recommend uses for uncertain plants, I can attest that everything looks amazingly beautiful- we’re going into cold, dark winter here, so it makes me really happy to see such lovely flowers and vibrant greenery!
Thank you for sharing the pics, @TheMuslimWitch- they brought some light and joy into my day!
Your very welcome and no need to worry, i wouldn’t consume or externally use any plants i wouldn’t normally eat or if it is from an unknown source this goes even more so with my own judgement as a baby witch. I really appreciate your concern and you have mentioned the most important thing which i should have mentioned on the post: Don’t eat anything you are not 100% sure about kids its extremely dangerous
Those are some beautiful pictures @TheMuslimWitch thank you for sharing! I’m with @BryWisteria – I don’t know anything magically about what you shared but I do know now what a Jacaranda looks like [cue Encanto music]
Sure and i will! I am sorry i couldn’t get the wattle i wanted to share i promised a while back they are no longer in bloom and all is left is the tree and it’s leaves
No worries at all! I completely understand the sadness of things going out of season. But the happy thing is that they always come around again on the next turn of the Wheel- I’m sure you’ll be spotting pretty wattle again before you know it!
