Picking Flowers
Picking flowers is one of my favorite pastimes. Yes, actually. I love stopping by roadsides, searching through the forest, and even my own backyard for different florals. Since Beltane/MayDay was a few days ago, I thought I might post about something so commonly found in peak springtime! One of the first times I really got interested in flowers is when I created a Botany Book in Middle School: Initially my interest peaked in Apothecary, which is why I wrote down healing properties and methods. I’m still a big believer in folk medicine and would really enjoy foraging! Here is one of my favorite YouTubers on that: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCcbf8wnyVJl631LAmAbo7nw Beyond that I guess I just wanted to talk about my love of the flowers I find. I really enjoy learning about whether they are native or not and exactly what they are. One really good app I found for this is called Seek. You can download it here on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seek-by-inaturalist/id13532...
