Nature, curiosity, individuality abounds, even among the forgotten places. Characteristics of individual plants vary, especially among the genetically diverse Mulberry. It is this discovery of diversity which keeps me fascinated, forever observing.
Plant lovers will forever be saying they have a new favorite plant. I seem to collect a new love each week, either by stumbling upon something new on a hike or reading about attributes of another. Tilia americana has been an intrigue of mine ever since I learned the leaves were edible. Just the name alone, Tilia, is beautiful. If I had a daughter I would totally name her Tilia (or Mertensia, but I digress)...
