Lesser Wintergreen (Pyrola minor)

#Wintergreen #ArtWithOpenSource #Darktable #CCBYSA #Plant #Plants #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photo #Photography

A little #ForestFloor vignette from yesterday afternoon. There is no fresh green here, yet, though Aspen and Willow catkins are bursting out and should soon be flowering, leaves and non-woody plants will follow..
Meantime #WildflowerWednesday #WildflowerHour will have to settle for the resilient leaves of Pink-flowered #Wintergreen Pyrola asarifolia against a backdrop of beautiful #lichen on a fallen bit of birch trunk. #LichenSubscribe #BorealForest #Alberta #Canada #spring #SolaceInNature

Some additional reporting here. The fire was about ten miles north of #Wintergreen https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/10-acre-active-wildfire-reported-near-wintergreen-blue-ridge-parkway/

Check out this photo I got on a hike in the pine barrens a few weeks ago! I'm really happy with how this one turned out ^^

I believe the plant species is striped wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata) or at least something in that genus

Some more lichens among the pine needles. Also present: partridgeberry leaves and berries (Mitchella repens) and wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens).

Saving #Wintergreen, A Confusing Wee Flower
https://www.plantlife.org.uk/saving-wintergreen-a-confusing-wee-flower/

"#wintergreens are partial #mycoheterotrophs, which means that they have an alternative to #photosynthesis for acquiring their energy to grow. They can parasitically take sugars and minerals from #fungus in woodland #soils. This ability is likely part of why they are so challenging to propagate in captivity. There have also been suggestions that the presence of specific #fungi is necessary for the tiny seeds to germinate."

#FotoMontag #MondayMotivation-- well I took these photos yesterday- Monday- even got the editing done last night, but no oomph to post before bed...lol
A couple of views from the #garden around the acreage and in the #bush #BorealForest still lots of snow around- though probably no more than half of usual, lots of bare spots as there always are, allowing glimpses of #WinterColour #WinterGreen #mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #SolaceInNature

#SevenOnSunday the colours of winter: #sunset over the #mountains , warm day #puddles , moss, lichens, evergreen leaves and sun through melting frost on the car windows!

Chickweed Wintergreen

There’s a section in the woodland which is full of native species. I found these beautiful little #Chickweed #Wintergreen #flowers around the edges of the paths in that area.

Back on the trail of the taste of #RootBeer (tasting like smell of Germolene). Looks like Wintergreen is the common element.

This is too funny.

According to Wikipedia
#Germolene is "...scented with oil of wintergreen...."

And on the #Wintergreen page?
"...it is often a component of root beer, which originated in the United States..."

I can't do enough ROFLs for this. My childhood palette was spot on. 🤣

#SixOnSaturday the first half of #February was mostly mild, though not serious melting weather (that's a good thing at this time of year!) Usual late winter scenes of #moss #lichen #wintergreen , tantalising crystal #snow , dried #leaves as memories of growing seasons past and promise of future growth!
