  1. Friends, I really like #salal. It grows all over the place in the #PNW also, which is great.

    Happy Friday, humans. Go find something that makes you smile.

  6. #Salal is one of my favorite #plants. I grew up around it, and this is probably the best season to showcase it. Fresh bright growth, and rows of little bell-shaped #blossoms all over the place.

    Found a #bee that seems to enjoy it as much as I do.

  7. (1/2) Went for a short hike today at #MarineViewPark in #DesMoines #Washington. Gorgeous day, with some beautiful views. A few shots from the trail. Nice view of Rainier as well.

  8. #Salal berries may not be the most flavorful of fruits, but they are among the easiest to pick. And they give a great purple color to other foods.

  9. One of my forest joys at the moment is that salal berries are ripe. If you live on the west coast of North America, perhaps you know this plant, and maybe you’re nibbling on the berries, too! They’re not super sweet, like blackberries, nor zingy like raspberries. I find them tasty, though, and could eat them by the bucketful.

    My dog likes them too. I pick a little branch of berries, then nibble them off. The next little branch is for him, and he does the same.

  10. #Salal #flowers will become #food #berries soon 🥰

    #SalalBerries are a major #FoodSource for #BritishColumbia #FirstNations - can be dried & made into cakes. Fruit leathers can be made by blending berries & spreading flat in a pan & drying in sun or oven. Berries can also be used to create a dark blue or purple dye. Branches & leaves of salal are used to line cooking pits & provide flavour. Leaves are used to cover cuts and wounds.

  14. Of the things that grow wild in your region: is there some plant that people pick for the floral industry?

    This is salal, which grows on the west coast of BC, Canada, and down the coast to California as well. It’s used in bouquets, and is prized by florists. And that’s why there are salal pickers in my local forest, harvesting this stuff (illegally) by the truckload.
