neqwniqwaoz

 Black cottonwood

Populus ( i suspect  it is P. trichocarpus)

'mother tree'


A wonderful tree to have a round, called mother tree because apearantly every part can be used 
for medice. I myself have  P. balsemferia in the yard, it's brother, and  i use the spring buds, who have a wonderful fragrance.
This tree is photographed on a spot,  from where it probaly has to go, but  i am sure if you have one poplar on your lot, there are more, and i find it's brother in my yard propengates by it's roots even faster then it's cousin the Aspen.

Dysphania botrys

Jerusalem Oak


 Again this is an introduced species, it is not native to Canada

Rumex

 probably Rumex obtusiflolius

which growing  here in the disturbed soil, again turns out to be an introduced species to BC

from several Rumex species i eat the leaves when young and grind flour from the seeds.

I did not read the book yet, but it sounds wonderful.

Epilobium

 Epilobium





I assume it is Epilobium brachycarpum

It  is related to Xektnalhp, Fireweed (Chamaererion angustifolium)

and seems to be a pioneer species like fireweed.  Growing in the disturbed area, i wonder if it is blown in or naturally  occuring there when things are opened up.

Nevertheless i think it is wonderful to have an 'upon a pod' in ones garden

I assume they are all edible.
