Wisteria Death AND Dinner! Tasty pretty petals for a salad or a cake but AVOID the bean like pods that appear later in the year. Nasty bastards! . . #flowers #edibleplants #instaforager #poisonousplants #dangerousplants #wisterialane #desperatehousewives

#Mayflower the flowers of the #Hawthorn are a real sign that summer is right around the corner. Unmistakable little white blossoms with tiny yellow stamens they appear in these huge sprays across the thorny branches in May. I’ve already made a film last autumn about the berries etc but I thought I’d talk about the flowers too. Also reputed to smell like the plague. I actually thing it smells rather nice…perhaps the plague also did? . . . . #wildherbs #wildflowers #forage #foraging #ukforager #forager #wildplants #medicinalplants #wildmedicine #herbalmedicine #naruralremedy #naturalmedicine #edibleplants #wildfood #springtime #ukforagers #wildflavours #foodfacts #learnoninsta #foodforfree #fieldtofork springplants #springflowers #ukplants #folklore #Pilgrimfathers #foundingfathers #plymouthrock

#gianthogweed a #despicable bastard but actually it’s just protecting itself. However it’s important to know this one, especially if you find it on your land and need to remove it… . . . . #foraging #forage #forager #poisonousplants #poison #toxic #dangerousplants #warning #wildfood #flowers #eatthecountry #ukplants #deadlyplants #gardenflowers #gardening #wildfowers #dangerousflowers #toxin #hogweed #hedgerows

#groundivy very pretty this time of year with its little pinky lilac flowers. All sorts of magical properties. I appreciate that I neglected to ask wether or not it was sacred to druids but if you watch this I thin it’s a resounding YES! Does it ward off evil? Well…I suppose that depends on where you stand morally on the subject of cow enchanting. . . . . #forager #foraging #wildplants #wildflowers #edibleplants #magic #magicalplants #wildherbs
