The #OrangeBallTree is native to #Chile.
It's been cultivated here as a popular ornamental in pollinator gardens. This flowering tree had hundreds of #pollinators feeding on it. It is a beautiful flower tree! 🧡
It's used as a cultural #MedicinalPlant too. Infusion of their leaves is used topically for the treatment of wounds, burns & ulcers.

#PacificSilverweed is abundant throughout #PNW into Alaska & Arctic. Longtime important #FoodSource for #PacificNorthwest #Indigenous peoples. In BC, patches of them were protected under #potlatch #FirstNations family law.

You can note patch locations when flowers appear & then dig up roots in late Fall & Winter. The roots taste like bitter sweet potatoes.
