Cunila

[geopsych]

American dittany, Cunila origanoides, blooming now in Pennsylvania. It’s not quite this green. I turned the green up a little so you could see it better. Because if you find it, be sure to break off a leaf and sniff it. It smells like oregano! It is also known as frost flower for an odd thing that sometimes happens with it when frost hits.

3 through 7 December 2018

Monday I finished attaching the bubble wrap to the ceiling of the tropical corridor. It is staying warm and humid overnight now. It went up in half the time that it took last year.

Medicinal plant of the week: Iris unguicularis

Thursday and Friday I had time to work in world wood. It had been some time since I last worked in there. I removed many things which had been over planted, ‘Chelsea planting’, and now they are too big for the space, so I left just the best one, when I could. Otherwise I kept the one in the best position. The area looks so much better now.

This is the last new plant ident for the year, this time plants from Macaronesia:

Asclepiadaceae Ceropegia dichotoma

Asteraceae Schizogyne sericea

Boraginaceae Echium giganteum

Campanulaceae Azorina vidalii

Campanulaceae Musschia aurea

Euphorbiaceae Euphorbia aphylla

Fabaceae Dorycnium broussonetii

Malvaceae Trochetiopsis ebenus

Rosaceae Bencomia moquiniana

Rutaceae Ruta oreojasme

A few good native plants from yesterday: New Jersey tea, Ceanothus americanus; smooth yellow false foxglove, Aureolaria flava; and American dittany, Cunila origanoides. Fern leaf yellow false foxgloves and starry campion grow there too. They were too high up the bank to get good phone pictures. The dittany blooms with small blue flowers later in the season and, yes, it smells like a Mediterranean herb.

A patch of American dittany, Cunila origanoides, in bloom on a road bank. I removed a leaf just to get that Mediterranean herbal scent, so surprising to find in a wildflower here.
