Huutat (Lemonade Berry) flowers by Wayne S. Grazio Via Flickr: The lemonade berry is a small shrubby tree. The plant is native to the coastal range of southern California and Baja California. This tree can grow up to 25 feet in height and is a common member of the chaparral plant community. The Kumeyaay Indians used tangy huutat berries to flavor their tea. The berries are soaked in water to provide flavor and they’re also eaten fresh. The seeds from these berries are ground up and combined with this tangy drink. A wad of lemonade berries can also be placed in the mouth as a means to keep thirst at bay during long hikes under the sun. The bark of this tree is used in a tea after childbirth.

so I found this really cool website that sells native seeds- and you might be asking me "snekdood, haven't you posted an entire list of websites that sell native wildflower seeds that you're going to add on to soon?" and yes that's true, but that's not the kind of native seed im talking about rn.

see, on my quest to find websites that sell native wildflowers, I came across this dope ass website that sells seeds that have been farmed and harvested by ntv people traditionally, i'll let the website do the talking:

so anyways this is the coolest website ever. you can find the wild relatives of chiles on here called chiltepines, you can find different colors of corn and cool squash's, and every seed from whichever farm has it's own lil origin story written about it. you can also find other veggies here that are already commercially available to help fund and support this organization. as well as there being a cool gift shop with a lot of art made by different native folk from all around as well as cookbooks, jewelry, pottery, weavings, and clearly plenty more:

as well as a pantry?? with premade soup mixes??? and i really want to try them now??????

anyways I think its worth snoopin' around bc I'm almost positive you'll see something you think is cool (oh also if you happen to have some seeds passed down from ur family too and ur also native they seem like they would gladly help produce more)

some art ❤️

Designing my friend a Golden Kamuy Skateboard deck! Only have the sketch half way done so this is all i got at the moment.

I’m working with Newfields’ horticulture department (also known as The IMA/The Indianapolis Museum of Art) to design some graphics of native Hoosier plants in their pollinator garden. The yellow flower is the American Senna and the pink one is the Eastern Red Columbine.

i want to make a sewing piece with flowers from different liberation movements — e.g. lavender for queers, poppy for Palestine...

anyone have information on flowers linked to other movements / cultures? For instance, Black liberation or Latin American / Indigenous liberation?

#rn i'm thinking of doing a rose for Indigenous America because they #are native to here + are meaningful to various cultures #+ they make me think of Latin American liberation theology bc of their association with our lady of guadalupe #and the flower of a black-eyed pea for Black liberation because enslaved Africans were able to bring those plants with them #to the americas and nourish themselves with that memory of home #could also do sunflowers as an important staple crop to many Native American cultures (“the fourth sister”) #plus apparently sunflowers were used in some feminist movements? but i'll have to look into which ones Just In Case #averygaypost

i’ve really been hoping that g3 Venus would be Indigenous bc venus flytraps the actual plant are exclusively indigenous to coastal areas in north & south carolina usa so it would make sense & be cool to see venus be part of an Indigenous nation in the same area. it’s looking like in this gen she’s going to be black/black coded but afroindigenous ppl exist so maybe i’m still holding out hope lmao

#if anyone says that they must b scottish/irish bc of their surname y’all know that’s bullshit 😐 #a lot of native americans have european surnames due to colonization so they can have an ‘mc’ name & still b native #also venus flytraps are simultaneously male & female meaning venus could very much be an intersex & nonbinary character #which if they were indigenous would make them two-spirit which is such an underrepresented identity & would be a HUGE win for diversity #idk i respect their decisions but to me it feels pretty obvious w a quick google search on the plant to realize that they should b native #like it just makes the most sense? so ig i’m gonna feel p disappointed if venus isn’t indigenous in g3 #ig it doesn’t rlly matter #also they turn black in their dormant period so they should become goth in the winter😭😭 #i like venus’ leaked design so far but i know damn well she will b impossible to get😭😭 #monster high #mh #monster high dolls #monster high gen 1 #monster high gen 3 #venus mcflytrap

November is National Native American Heritage month in the USA! Did you know that many of the UK’s favourite kitchen garden plants were originally domesticated by indigenous peoples in the Americas? The Native Americans’ domesticated plants now feed most of the world and have become an integral part of cuisines in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

1. Potato: Potato (Solanum tuberosum) was domesticated by indigenous Americans in the Andes at least 10,000 years ago. Genetic studies indicate hybridization of different wild potato varieties in the species Solanum brevicaule in Southern Peru produced the original domesticated potato. Today, indigenous people in Peru have over 4000 varieties of potato, each with their culinary and cultural significance. The Chuño potato can be preserved for up to 15 years, making it an important food source during lean times in the days of the Inca Empire.

2. Corn: Indigenous Americans domesticated corn (Zea mays) from the wild grass Teosinte (Zea mays parviglumis) of southwestern Mexico approximately 9,000 years ago. The wild Teosinte is a miniature corn, with ears containing only 5-12 hard seeds. From the initial domestication in Mexico, corn spread north and south to become the iconic food plant of indigenous America. Native American corn differs from the familiar sweetcorn because it was selectively bred to be dried and preserved rather than eaten fresh. Native American corn varieties can be a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours and are either flint corn (dried for preservation and then soaked for food purposes), flour corn (processed into masa harina flour), or popcorn.

3. Beans: Our familiar kitchen garden beans all come from indigenous American agriculture. The fresh green beans and most of the dried beans belong to the same species, the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) which was domesticated via hybridization of several wild species in Mesoamerican around 4,000 years ago. The Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus) was domesticated in South America around 4,000 years ago and spread north of the Rio Grande by the 1300’s.

Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica)

Blue flowers are relatively rare. Most incline to violet or else are quite small. But Virginia bluebells are a striking exception. All my photos from my garden, unedited.

I'm not kidding. They really are that blue naturally. They bloom in May. Then they slowly decline and the entire plants are gone above soil by the summer. Only to reappear the following spring! The shoots and flower buds are edible. You don't want to take too much, though. As spring ephemerals, they need the energy they make with their leaves during their short growing period. The short bloom period is also why I don't have more photos of them. They don't even bloom every year.

one of my successfully transplanted American persimmon seedlings planted in the woods

[ID: A photo of a young American persimmon tree, less than a foot tall, in a forest floor covered in pine needles and fallen sticks. The persimmon has smooth, round, light green leaves, with yellow central-leaf-veins. Behind it and in the foreground are small, young sweetleaf shrubs, with darker, skinnier leaves. End ID.]

Here's my free American / common persimmon identification guide:

Been hanging out inside and sewing during the heat but went out in the evening last night to take some pics of Kirsten among our native plants.

I love these patterns and I’m so happy to offer a few of these outfits at my Etsy shop, InnerStar Collections. Hope you’ll check them out ☺️

Everything I see that happens to Palestinians literally happened & is happening to Native Americans like its insane

#our oppression mirrors each other #theres differences of course bc our histories of colonization & race & religion are different #but thats what makes the similarities so chilling #Israel controlling Palestine's water supply & making escape or defending yourself nigh impossible #& removing all the Native plants like the Olive trees & replacing them with invasive plants #or the extinction of the Palestinian crocodile vs the Plains Bison #how settlers will defend their colonization & how ive seen a settler say that Israel 'uses the land properly' #everything I've seen settlers say defending Israel is the exact same thing I've seen settler Canadians & Americans say
