I grew some miniature strawberry popcorn! Isn’t she cute?
I’ve never grown corn before, let alone tiny red popcorn. I might be hooked!

Pinus echinata (shortleaf pine)
I haven’t been quite as active on here lately and that’s mostly because I’ve been doing less nature photography, hiding from the heat indoors. There’s also a plague of rabid swamp mosquitoes at the moment and not enough DEET in the world to scare them away.
Anyway, here’s one of my favorite little pine trees.

Spotted Touch-Me-Not, Impatiens capensis, was used traditionally as a treatment for poison ivy. I find that pretty ironic, given its common name (actually, “touch-me-not” is in reference to its exploding seed pods).

Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is in the grape family (Vitaceae), but its berries are inedible. Both Virginia creeper and its delicious cousin the muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia) grow like crazy in my yard.
