Fern #Folklore claims that the ancient, flowerless plant blooms or drops invisible seeds on Midsummer’s Eve (St. John's Eve). Gathering this 'fern flower' or its seeds at midnight is said to grant the finder invisibility, the ability to speak to animals, and eternal wealth.

Among the 200+ herbaceous plants in the Okefenokee is the fragrant "Deer's Tongue" [Carphephorus odoratissimus]. Its leaves were once a prized addition to tobacco mixtures, a small, aromatic secret hidden among the carnivorous sundews and pitcher plants. #SwampSunday #PlantLore #Okefenokee #HerbLore

In the Okefenokee, the Rose Pogonia is a floral warning. Lore says its fleshy roots are young snakes "sleeping" in the peat. Dig one up & you’ve disturbed a nest; pick the bloom & the mother cottonmouth will track the scent to find you. 🐍🌸 #FolkloreThursday #Okefenokee #PlantLore

The Truth About Queen Anne’s Lace: Weed, Wildflower, or Both?
Introduction to Queen Anne’s Lace Queen Anne’s lace is one of those plants you’ve definitely seen, even if you didn’t know its name. Picture a roadside meadow in summer, dotted with delicate white, umbrella-shaped flowers gently swaying in the breeze. That’s Queen Anne’s lace simple, elegant, and quietly complex. But here’s the twist: this innocent-looking wildflower has a double life. To some, it’s a charming symbol of nature’s beauty.

So sprouts, as they're an above ground crop, plantlore dictates the best time to shove them in is between the new moon and the first quarter. And if you're after sprouts for Christmas, you should be sowing seeds in March/April and establishing young plants outside in May. Just remember the moon 🌙.
