Hey everyone! My name is Amanda Wygant. I’m from a small farming community in Alaska called Kenny Lake. I’ve lived here the majority of my life but have also lived in Thailand, Italy, Georgia (the state), West Virginia and Colorado. I will be moving back to Colorado for the winter sometime this next month or so. I’m really excited to hike around and observe the different plants that live there. After winter is over, I will return to Alaska to my seasonal summer job cleaning up marine debris in Prince William Sound.
I am taking this class because I love plants, gardening, and foraging! I am very excited to collect berries this year! I’ve begun to find high bush cranberries and Saskatoon berries. I would love to learn more about using medicinal plants and how to properly harvest them as well as how they work with our body. I also hope to get my OEC in Ethnobotany.
Fabulous job on these Amanda,
have a look I think you might have mixed up the images of the leaves for Western Columbine and Goatsbeard. Maybe you can switch those? Wish I could stand in a field of Western Columbine as you show, stunning flowers. Nice photographs too! For the Yarrow have a closer look and look at each of the flowering heads in this Asteraceae example, there are ray flowers on the outside that make the head attractive and to the inside there are small disk flowers with short petals. Well done.
