Just found this channel yesterday and I love it! From the adventures to videos like this, there is such a simplicity and appreciation of nature that feels so genuine. I live in Indiana and have been walking in the woods recently. Although my past interest in plants allows me to identify some of them, this video and your others is expanding my knowledge even more! Also, as a Hoosier, I love that you show how nature can be appreciated anywhere. The woods here are so beautiful right now!--even without mountains and oceans. (Although those are pretty awesome to explore occasionally too :) Road trip anyone?) Anyway, just wanted to leave a comment to let you know how much I appreciate this channel. Believe it or not, it's actually helping me get through a rough time and to focus on the beauty around me. Keep up the great work!
I agree with your point at the end of the video. Before I started studying tree ID I just saw "trees" but now it's like I know a new language and I get to participate in conversations that were unknown to me before. Thanks for the video.
This video kind of hit me in the feelings. I remember jack in the pulpit being one of the first things my mom taught me to identify. I kind of wish my family never left Ohio. I think it might have been a much better place to grow up.
Great video, as always. There are places in the southern Appalachians where various trillium species carpet the ground, so I guess you could take a few to have for lunch. Keep up the great work.
jrmunro111 Yup - from my understanding, it's just the leaves. I did some reading up on it the other day, and apparently when the leaves wilt, they return nutrients to the plant's taproot, so picking a leaf could harm or even kill the plant. I'd like to try it some time at least once though. Either way, they are quite beautiful. Thanks for watching! --Andrew
thank you very true we need to look down to find the natural medicinal and edible and of course be aware of the poison ones

you are right it is good to have place's to walk and enjoy the wild life of the woods
+runingblackbear Absolutely :) It's good to be able to get away and connect with nature, even for a little bit. Thank you for watching! -Andrew

Thanks for watching. The language analogy is perfect. It really does feel like you become literate in the forest --andrew

4:12 isn't that a Pokémon? 🤔
Thank you Andrew!, saludos from mexico.
Excellent! Andrew another great job there my friend. I really love your work. Atb
Thank you so much! really glad you like it!

botanyboy1 Thanks! Glad to have your approval on this video. And I love the Appalachians.
About Solomon's Seal, in Korea, the roots are also dried and made into a very nice tea.
You did not mention whether Jack In the Pulpit is edible or not. I was always told "NO"!
The first plant is mayAPPLE, not mayflower. Just had a slip of the tongue.
Ha. didn't know trillium was edible. Too bad it's Ontario's Provincial flower and just picking them is illegal :|
