    Pine Barren Flora

    When I was a kid I filled up my bottom dresser drawer with dried catalpa pods.My Mom said what are these and I told her cigars and I was going to smoke em.I smoked a few and then they sat there for a few months and eventually she chucked em.

    Pine Barren Flora

    I have made dandelion/chicory coffee from roasted roots of both plants mixed 50/50. The Dandelion gives it a coffee smell but the chicory gives it a sweeter flavor.I like the smell of coffee but not the taste.

    Venomous Snakes, Bugs, and S&H Green Stamps

    My Caterpillar field guide says Puss caterpillars come as far north as Maryland but that i a Puss caterpillar.There are several caterpillars similar but none that are a match to that pic but the Puss. I"ve been stung by IO caterpillars down in Florida and it was one of the most painful things...

    Pine Barren Flora

    I think I"m right on the Wild lettuce.Fireweed leaves appear to be unserrated and narrower,also it should be in bloom now.

    Pine Barren Flora

    German I must say on the Paulonia I think your right.leaf shape and texture isn't right for burdock and as i said below catalpa being a tree starts with one woody stem and the leaf is also different and unserrated.

    http://aporee.org/maps/?loc=33312&m=satellite This is the site where Whip posts recordings that he deems internet worthy.Every Barrens and Cumberland County recording is by Him. Most are right down fabulous.It's hard to get away from road noise,even in the middle of Wharton it seeps in sometimes.

    Pine Barren Flora

    I think you may right.I would have never suspected a baby catalpa in the barrens but they do grow around people places.That could very well be fireweed too but wild lettuce does look similar.On the burdock I looked for burs and saw none but the stems don't look tree like.Usually trees atrt out...

    I"ve eaten Wood Nettle and it was good.The Prickly Pear fruit is a delicacy if you can skin it right to avoid the spines. Thing with poke is you have to catch it early like you said.Once it gets any red in the stem it's no good.You can blanche the plant by planting roots in soil and placing them...
