#plantidentification — Public Fediverse posts

So, many years ago, my colleagues at the #WildernessSchool had permission to pick blueberries at the #BlueberryBarrens at #CrystalSpringFarms, and also foraged in the surrounding areas. It's a lovely place and I'm so glad that it's being preserved -- despite all the development in #Maine!

Summer Four Season Walk at Crystal Spring Farm

Tuesday, July 21, 2026
3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Crystal Spring Farm
277 Pleasant Hill Road
#BrunswickME, 04011 United States

Pre-registration required. Suggested donation $5-$20.

"Come walk the trails at Crystal Spring Farm in Brunswick as we get to know #NativePlants in summer.

Four season walks are a popular series and a staff favorite: each year, we pick a new location, and then take the same walk, once per season. We will all engage in observing and asking questions of our surroundings, and identify the varied plants, shrubs, trees, ferns, and wildlife along the trail. Each season brings something new and spectacular to look at. The goal of these walks is to foster relationships with place through relationships with plants, and encourage further #stewardship of our community spaces. Crystal Spring is home to a lovely blueberry barren #ecosystem that we look forward to visiting together. Thank you to #BrunswickTopshamLandTrust for hosting us!"

Field #bindweed flowers by the seaside.
From far away, I thought they were small field daisies but on closer look, it's bindweed.

#BlackMedick aka #HopClover.

It grows on almost every continent. Very cold & drought resistant. Known as an excellent pioneer plant to rewild disturbed grounds. #PioneerPlants are plants that are often used to start many #rewilding efforts in areas where the soil isn't great & has suffered damages. It doesn't do too well in full shade. Very #ColdResistant & #DroughtResistant, once established - it's been found in mountain elevations to desert environments.

A good choice for a #ClimateActionGarden.
In the alfalfa family of plants.

The seeds are edible & can be ground up into flour but they're too small for the effort. It's mainly used as animal #fodder & it attracts lots of #pollinators 👍

Found a couple of cute #NativePlants at the cabin in #PointReyes #WestMarin -

The first photo is a Californian Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium bellum)

The second is a beach spotted suncup (Camissoniopsis Cheiranthifolia).

They both popped up this week- amazing what you can find if you don’t mow!
