Spanish Dagger Yucca in bloom. Doesn't seem like much interest in this subject. I've been liking plant identification lately. I went on a walk with some local master naturalists and they had crazy amounts of knowledge

That's pretty legit dude
Vermilion Flycatcher. Common bird!
Rhododendron, pretty common here in Kentucky
Nipple Cactus
Retama is a weird ass small tree that drops its tiny leaves in drought and winter. It continues photosynthesis through the ribs and green bark of the tree. Nice yellow blooms
This is popping up sporadically in areas around Southern Illinois with tons of other wild flowers.

Yuccas are great. You can take offsets if you want one at home. Or the seedpods when dried.

If you pay attention to the season you can see them. They come out twice a year, 8 weeks apart or some shit. Its cool that you can raise them, how do you get one? You can find the caterpillars on birch, alder and a handful of other trees. Do you catch them? Can i catch them? Wanna catch them together

Eastern Prairie Fringed Orchid. It is threatened due to wetlands being shat on in my region.
centaurea cyanus

Fuck Yuccas, they're terrible to mow or garden around.
Anyone knows what flower is this ? Stole it from a botanical garden and i wanna know how to take care of her better. Thanks
The paw paw tree/fruit is really common here in WV. Plus, it's edible and is a really tasty snack

come thru m8! i buy them online from a breeder. started off with 50, got 8 cocoons. not a great survival r8
Plymouth Red Belly, its technically a Northern Red Belly Coooter, but a completely isolated population for some reason only is found in Plymouth County, MA. i think the plymouth population is 200 miles from the northern most range of the Cooter so its almost a subspecies
