Just came through 3 hours of no power (vicious thunderstorm). Anyway, with the help of the Energizer bunny, I spent the time diving into a book I recently acquired.

I think anybody interested in plants - foragers, naturalists, etc. will find this book quite interesting.

It covers quite a few plants that grow in our collective areas, as well as common, everyday plants that we (shouldn't :rolleyes: ) take for granted.

Even if you find no direct application from the information within, I think it might cause you to look at the plant world in a whole new way.

Also a new book for foragers, written by John Kallas, called Edible Wild Plants. - excellent. Looks like it might be the first of a series.

Thank GP, that looks inetersting. I have been meaning to pick up the "Edible Wild Plants" book..
 
John Kallas is a PhD who has quite a reputation here on the west coast. His classes fill up very quickly and he has been featured on most news programs for his understanding of native wild edible plants and the plant's usage by Pac Northwet indigenous people. http://www.wildfoodadventures.com/
 
Very interesting book, Wicked Plants. I will have to give it a read some time. The bits I read on amazon were intriguing.
