Thank you for sharing all the details and photos of your wild plants! I especially like the plant listings w/ details on the plants. I'm striving to someday catalog and map my plants and you guys are an inspiration :-)

Also, please include scientific names... as a plant scientist, I find so many "common" names for the same plant... or multiple plants with the same. Latin names give direct reference to sources to properly identify them, which is critical.

Very true, Vicky. One should take some time to read up on these plants, especially, how to identify them in the wild, before going out and sampling them. Very important! Young comfrey plants and young foxglove plants, before they bloom, can resemble each other a bit. The last thing anybody should do is ingest anything from foxglove... do your homework before you go harvesting!
Nature for your every need
Mother Nature offers a bounty of helpful and healing plant life, and the leaves, flowers, bark and berries of plants have been used for centuries to cure everything from hunger to headaches. The next time you're in the great outdoors and find yourself in need of anything from aspirin to toilet paper, take a look around and help yourself to some of the Earth's most useful wild plants.
