Side view of eightpetal mountain avens, Dryas octopetala, taken in mid-June on Murphy Dome, Fairbanks, Alaska. Info in my Alaska Wildflower Guide: www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildf...

#alaska #summer #wildflowers #bloomscrolling
A low, ground-level side view of a cluster of mountain avens blooming on tundra under a clear blue sky. Several white, cup-shaped flowers with yellow centers stand on slender, fuzzy reddish-brown stems above a mat of small, dark green, scalloped leaves. Some blooms are fully open, others are still closed, greenish-yellow buds, and more flowers fade into soft blur in the background. Short, spiky sprigs of a low evergreen shrub, likely crowberry, and dry brown leaf litter fill the foreground.

Sphagnum Brownie (Hypholoma elongatum), taken in early September in Fairbanks, Alaska. More fungi from this fall: lwpetersen.substack.com/p/barely-tal...

#alaska #macro #mushroom #fungi
A close-up of a single small mushroom rising from moss on a forest floor. It has a pale tan, gently domed cap with fine radial lines along its edge, held up on a long, slender stem that is whitish near the top and turns orange-brown toward the base. To the left, a sprig of a low evergreen shrub with short, needle-like green leaves, likely crowberry, reaches into the frame, with a few yellowing leaves among them. Bright green moss covers the bottom of the frame, a blade of grass curves up in front of the stem, and the background fades into soft, out-of-focus greens and browns.

By the way, the flowers in her hair change with the seasons!

And finally, broom crowberry! Another rare plant, which is found in in fire-prone pine barrens in Nova Scotia (and also rocky ledges along the coast). Fire maintains early successional habitat and promotes seed germination. #nativeplants
A small broom crowberry (Corema conradii) shrub growing close to the mulched ground from a single stem with needle-like leaves in clusters. Broom crowberry (Corema conradii), a shrub growing with long stems with needle-like leaves close to the ground, with some three-toothed cinquefoil (Sibbaldia tridentata) leaves tangled in, growing in a crevice of an exposed rock barren at the Purcell’s Cove backlands in Nova Scotia. Broom crowberry (Corema conradii) • Native range in Canada: QC, NB, PE, NS • Native habitat: pine barrens, rock ledges, sand plains, open grasslands • Soil: dry - moist • Light: full sun - part shade • Height: 15 - 50 cm • Blooms: purple, April - May • Ecological benefits: This is a pioneer species following fire, which promotes seed germination. It is browsed by deer. • Notes: This is a heather-like shrub that can form dense mats. It relies on fire to maintain its habitat and germinate seeds.

I went berry picking at Arctic Valley with a large group on Wednesday. Thursday we cleaned the berries, mostly crowberries/moss berries, some blueberries and a few cranberries/red berries. Blueberries were sorted out to make modern akutaq and the rest were made into easy crowberry pie.

I also have a small cutting of rock crowberry, which is a neat species because it’s only found along the coast in Nova Scotia on exposed headlands in northern Cape Breton and the Chebucto peninsula (where Halifax is located).

A Rock crowberry (Empetrum eamesii ssp. eamesii) shrub cutting in mulch. It has small elongated leaves in clusters at the end of branches and is only a few cm off the ground. A mat of rock crowberry (Empetrum eamesii ssp. eamesii), which is a low growing creeping ground cover that is found growing in exposed rocky areas along the coast. iNaturalist observations of Rock crowberry (Empetrum eamesii ssp. eamesii) in Nova Scotia, PEI, and the Îles de la Madeleine. It’s only found along the northern coast of PEI, northern tip of Cape Breton, and the Chebucto peninsulas, where Halifax is located. Rock crowberry (Empetrum eamesii ssp. eamesii) • Native range in Canada: QC, PE, NS, NL • Native habitat: exposed headlands, barrens • Soil: average - moist • Light: full sun - part shade • Height: 10 - 30 cm • Blooms: white/pink/purple, April - May • Ecological benefits: There is little information about this plant, but it's likely that flowers attract butterflies and berries attract birds. • Notes: This is a heather-like shrub.

More small plants!
This is a black crowberry cutting I hope grows into a ground cover with punk black berries.

Black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) shrub with a few branches growing in mulch, with evergreen short needle-like leaves. Black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) is a shrub that acts like a ground cover and looks kind of like small evergreen needles close to the ground, with dark berries Black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) • Native range in Canada: BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, NB, PE, NS, NL, YT, NT, NU • Native habitat: rocky cliffs, barrens, tundra, boreal forest, bogs • Soil: dry - wet • Light: full sun - part shade • Height: 10 - 30 cm • Blooms: pink/purple, June - July • Ecological benefits: Flowers attract butterflies. Berries attract mammals and birds. Larval host for the Northern Blue butterfly (Lycaeides idas) and Arctic Blue butterfly (Agriades glandon). • Notes: This is a heather-like shrub that can form dense mats.

Crowberry (empetrum nigrum)!
A species in the heather family ericaceae, found alongside the common heather and scottish highland cattle in the dunes of North Holland!

I haven't but I will now!

I went down a bog rabbit hole when I was researching hikes in the Olympics and found the Crowberry Bog. I had no idea how many types there were, how important they were, and I even read about the history of peat harvesting.

This book looks very up my alley.

What about deep purplish-reds that you could get from some berries (e.g. bilberry and crowberry)?

Were they not used/not popular then?
