If you're also pointing out cool native plants and their uses and benefits you're amazing

also check out crime pays but botany doesn't on youtube

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

YES. I love that channel.

Also, if you're interested, I'm going to take this opportunity to shamelessly promote the community I set up dedicated to California native plants.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I would also like to give a vote for Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.

I’ve only seen a few episodes but the desert plants/succulents content was just riveting.

I mean down here we just embrace the kudzu. Ok, that’s not true. Down here if you sit for too long, but not as long as you’d think. The kudzu embraces you.

Kudzu is a wildly useful plant. I sometimes regret never taking the opportunity to forage it when I lived in Georgia.

Yes but it’s still invasive and shouldn’t be there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I mean it's already there and isn't going anywhere, might as well make the best of a bad situation and get some good out of it.

Growth rate: about one foot per day

Holy shit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

We should hike together. I genuinely love hiking with people who won't shut up about plants, rocks, fungi, or animals

English ivy. English ivy everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Tree of Heaven. I dislike this tree and point out its growth to friends and family when we pass by them all the time.

Me looking at all the invasive grass in socal....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Ughhhh this is me. I can't unsee the invasive species.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pointing out earth worms are invasive in many places has been my go to recently.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Not the permafrost!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me its zebra mussels. I see those, it's a firefight on sight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Gotta have those high-capacity magazines

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Oh hey, it's me. But seriously fuck mullein.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Be the invasive species you want to see in the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The species aren't invasive the people that took them from their natural habitat and then abandoned them are.
