Hi, 👋 👋
I am a high schooler with a passion for gardening and nature. Starting on a trip to Florida, when I collected a few exotic seeds. I had always had a passion for nature but this was something new for me. I got a few house plants (white bird of paradise, Chinese fan palm, majesty palm, and sago "palm") and tried my hand at growing them. After I got accustomed to growing them I tried several microclimate experiments (mostly based around using south walls). As I was doing this I accumulated 120+ tropical and subtropical fruits and spices (banana, citrus, cinnamon, and passionfruit to name a few) some from seeds others I got from various websites. That brings me to one of my favorite things, permaculture/permanent agriculture. From there the search for new ways to guild (essentially creating an edible/medicinal plant community that mimic wild communities of that area) took me to inaturalist. Some of my favorite genus include Smilax, Aphyllon, Dianthus, Phemeranthus, and the subgenus Anisophyllum.
Tagging
Feel free to tag me to observation, ideally I would prefer if they are within Wisconsin or at least the midwest. Please only tag me to observations that are plants.
Cool observations
