GOOD GRIEF!!! I hadn't thought of that! Glad I din try it.

Vinegar intrigues me....I wonder if I used one of me needles to inject vinegar into the plant if it would work it's way all the way through the plant.....heyyyy maybe a hypo full of electrolite from one of me dead truck batteries

Oh
Dat finally droppin seed no more blooms so sad...wonder if many (if any) will grow next year -
We been pullin em but they keep spreadin and coming back from my own research clippings are just as apt to take off as seeds and failin' to git the roots leads to return attacks....but one site I visit say strip it of it's leaves every time it come back... I dunno... so far we haven't had any luck keeping it from returning...Irony of Ironies sweety bought seeds for a blue variety (thankfully I've kept her from plantin em bad enough that we're stuck trying to fend of the purple variety which has overtaken her beds up front and has migrated to kill off various plants out back. fuckin weed!)
Ya...sounds really cool....wonder if we have em round here.

never before last walkabout had i specifically sought the camas seed, and so one revelation for me rooting around that field was that the camas pods & seeds make a most unusual and remarkable sound when disturbed. i may have heard it before in the field but never knew the cause, and would not have associated the sound with camas even this time save it was camas seed i sought & it was camas seed i found. the sound is bright, high pitched, almost like a quick & short whistle or a little...

took a while to id this as it's not in my books and no one lists 'peach' as a flower color. 
even when i found it in the state database, peach petals aren't mentioned or the blue anthers, but the 5 petals narrowed it as well as the slender leaves. photos helped a lot as they showed the reddish stems which no source mentioned in the text. 
once i id'd it, i checked my county listing of vascular plants found and this one is not there. 
this is the plant i mentioned earlier...

i have climbed to the mountaintop! while there, i gathered some seeds from wild growing lupine, and now that i have climbed down off the mountain i have commenced a jag to collect more seeds in the wild. took off today & walked to an unmowed field about a mile away & started gathering. i especially wanted to get the yellow salsify i earlier spotted there & i came prepared with a dozen or so rinsed out zipper tobacco puches. looking for native plants only, no aliens thank you, &...

the beautimous little flower you see, for now, aside this post is a plant native to my area, namely Fringecup - Tellima grandiflora. that it is fringed is obvious, but less so 'grandiflora', as it is a rather not grand but small flower. so this one i collected several years ago and grew in a pot, then put it in the yard in a shady corner last year. it's thriving & i spent the last couple days harvesting the ever-so tiny seeds now matured. of the maybe 40 seeds i got i have planted a few...
