RE: Walk With Me - Big Changes Coming!
Actually that particular plant is a bishop lace plant or queens lace plant. The wooly britches don't have the same leaf pattern. The bishop lace plant should be handled with care. When I pull it up, i wear gloves because it excretes a nasty resin that can cause skin irritation. The flowers are beautiful, and I would consider it knoxious. Don't know who planted it here, but you can't get rid of it. LOL There was an old woman that lived here, on this homestead until she was in her late 90's. That little cabin was her "winter home". It even has a plug in for a 220 electric stove. It would be a great little guest cabin someday. So nice to have warmer weather to get out and about in. Glad all is going well with the Kids' move to the new place.
When you get that cabin together make sure it fits 5!! We’re a cozy brunch and can sleep snug. Lol 😬😬
A lot of day dreaming has occured over that little cabin. It's pretty solid for as old as it is. No porta potty available down there. Could be fun to have a little B&B someday.
Colloquial names can vary so much by region... this is what I call "Bishop's Lace" (both images from google, labelled for re-use)
and this is what I call Queens Anne's Lace:
Those aren't the same thing as in the picture either!
Did you get the picture I emailed you? Try Bishops weed instead of Bishops lace. :)
Yep, that is the same plant as in my picture, is just yours is the flower and mine is the leaf - and that is not the same one in the yard.
