This is the species that is used as THE cultivated walnut tree. It has pinnately compound leaves with about 7 alternate leaflets, larger towards the tip or terminal end.
The brilliant blue, white, or pink of these flowers are actually 5 to 25 colored sepals rather than petals. They appear to float upon a mist of thread-like bracts above feathery, pinnately divided leaves.
One of the few species to walk face-first down tree trunks, this little bird also has a distinct black stripe through its eye.
This is the typical “red-breast” found in the United Kingdom and much of Europe, completely unrelated to the “red-breast” found in America.
This humble plant is easily overlooked, both in its quiet early blooming and later leaf unfurling
This velvety rootbeer-colored, moist-looking, rubbery-textured, somewhat cup-shaped edible fungus grows on trees and downed logs
This large-leaved biennial wildflower has thistle-like flowers and an edible and medicinal taproot
This species includes varieties called bok choy, napa cabbage, turnip, rapini, and totsoi
