@Nikolas Oh man, I have been kind of obsessed with this plant since reading a history of contraception decades ago. How wild would it be to find silphion 2000 years after it was harvested to extinction?

@desafinado meanwhile, I have discovered that jewelweed is traditionally used to soothe bug bites, rashes and burns, including urushiol rashes like poison ivy. Crushed leaves applied topically.

An Ayahuasca retreat in Europe can offer the space and support for this reconnection. The plant medicine is not seen as a quick fix, but as a gateway: it opens the door to the inner world and invites participants to meet themselves with honesty, curiosity, and presence.

Getting aquainted with plantain herb. Learned about it from herbalist in workshop couple years ago, looking for it to recognize since then. Recently saw big patch in a park, and confirmed with another visitor who knows medicinal plants. Good for scrapes and cuts and bug bites and rashes. Some put it on wounds. Which is great for me as I seem to be on Favorites menu for all the skeeters and ticks in this county, and have scratched myself scabby!

The park patch has some flower stems poking up. That made me wonder if it will produce seeds (surely it must), and how I might collect some to plant. So I looked up how to propagate. Thought I would share what I found! This plant is good medicine, which we will surely need as ~ all the evil~ going forward, useful food, and helps break up compacted soil and helps prevent erosion.

Which makes me think it might be good solution to another little park elsewhere, with newly raised walkway next to newly raised seawall by tidal river that floods now sometimes.
