Stellaria media, or chickweed, is often considered a nuisance or just something to throw to the chickens when found outside of its native habitat (Eurasia).

WELL I’m here to tell you that you are missing out on this actually delicious plant. It’s one of my favorite spring greens to eat raw. I pile it on top of sandwiches and use it in salads. It tastes like oak leaf lettuce with a dash of sweetness similar to corn.

Think about this FREE salad ingredient next time you’re looking at a $3 bag of wilty spring mix

Fire Pink

Silene virginica

A perennial catchfly native to central and eastern North America. The bright, fiery red flowers attract ruby-throated hummingbirds to pollinate them, and sticky sepals and stems on the plant act as a trap for small insects trying to climb up it, hence the name "catchfly" for plants in this genus. It prefers somewhat dry soils and part-sun, so it can be found on rocky slopes in open woodlands, savannas, and other similar habitats.

I found this fire pink growing in open, rocky woods near blackjack oaks and other drought-tolerant species.

Marseille. Deuxième balade avec Christine (et Luna !) dans le massif de Marseilleveyre (Parc National des Calanques) : eh oui, mes genoux me laissent tranquille !

Le but de cette balade : le Pas de la Selle. Ici, à mi-course, dans la pinède de l'ubac, le chemin est sablonneux et couvert d'aiguilles de pin, ce qui donne presque l'impression de marcher sur une moquette.

Le mistral est glacial !

Côté botanique, la liane est une Salsepareille mais j'ignore le nom de l'autre fleur, une caryophyllacée...

Après recherche, ce serait un Silene italica.

Silene virginica

Along a rocky road cut in an open woodland near Falmuth KY on our way back from a job.

Virginia Catch fly, more of a woodland/sav species compared to the largest species known as Royal catch fly. I also feel like this species is much more common overall. The common name “catch fly” refers to it’s ability to trap small flys and other small insects along it’s entire stem, the largest glands are associated with the sepals and they have more glands the higher you go. The glands on royal catchfly tend to trap more insects overall in compared to any other species. Royal Catch Fly was even considered to be a potential species to be monitored for protocarnivory; however, the glands that are present do not exude protease nor do they have similar enzyme groups that could potentially systematically break down proteins or aid in overall digestion. The sites that these species live in tend to have very nutrient rich or complex soils as well which may mean that the biological and abiotic pressures involved to evolve these characteristics are not present to force such needs over evolutionary time. There could always be a development in some populations of Silene spp. that could occur over an extended time and this family, Caryophyllaceae, is known for carnivory.

With all that said the glands on these plants do act as stabilizers to keep these plants erect and upright.

Dianthus ‘Scent First Coconut Surprise’

Plants in Dianthus are well-known for the garden plants and cut flowers commonly referred to as carnations or pinks. This diminutive cultivar. with the odd cultivar name of ‘Scent First Coconut Surprise’, is a new addition at the Ruth Bancroft Garden, so we will see just how drought-tolerant it proves to be. Dianthus belongs to the family Caryophyllaceae.

This species ranges from the mountains of Spain to Corsica, Sardinia, and Slovenia, from the Apennines to the Alps. It grows in rocky and stony places, on dry slopes, and in forests (especially pine forests). It prefers calcareous soils, at an altitude of up to 1,500 meters, rarely up to 2,400 meters. Reaching a height of 10–40 centimeters, the stem is prostrate to ascending, woody, reddish, quite hairy, and very branched. The leaves are ovate to lanceolate, sessile, and hairy, 1–3 cm long. The five-petalled flowers are arranged in groups at the ends of branches. They have red or pink (rarely white) petals and blue anthers Source: Wikipedia.
