y’all know what this is?!

it is a clump of jewelweed seedlings!

common jewelweed (impatiens capensis) is native to north america and likes to grow along waterways. in the summertime she grows lovely little orange flowers.

but my favorite thing about her is her sap! it’s great for topical use on irritated skin. i make salves out of it and other happy-skin plants every summer. AND anD if you apply the sap to an area of skin that’s been exposed to poison ivy, it can prevent the rash from developing.

OMG there’s a poison ivy preventative!? well. . . no. this is a more of a “i am in the middle of the woods and have no soap and water but i DO have this plant” situation.

the thing is, you have to have to apply the jewelweed sap almost immediately after exposure to urushiol (the itchy juice in poison ivy), and if you’ve been in contact with poison ivy for more than a few minutes – which most people are because they don’t recognize/notice it – then it’s DEF not going to work. urushiol is absorbed by the skin too fast.

it’s still a cool plant and it DOES reduce itchiness and irritation from dermatitis and bug bites. 🦟

Pale Jewelweed

Impatiens pallida

Native to much of eastern North America, pale jewelweed prefers wet soils in bottomland forests, along streams, etc... Jewelweed is also an old remedy for poison ivy rashes. Hummingbirds love the flowers as well. The pictured plants were growing en masse in a bottomland forest next to the Big River.

There's jewelweed, aster, and blackberries at the bottom of the yard. Summers as a kid I'd sit behind the shed amongst the flowers and put my feet in the stream.

Two years ago at the lake. It won’t be as lush this year after the drought but I look forward to being there soon!

Succulents Part 11--Wild Impatiens

Succulents are a wide variety of plants, spanning multiple orders. Some have succulent leaves while others have succulent stems. Cactuses are succulents, but not all succulents are cactuses. Defining what exactly makes a succulent is a little tricky. For example, cabbage leaves are considered by some to be succulent, but tulip and onion leaves apparently aren't.

All photos mine. Unedited.

Did you know we have native Impatiens in Ontario, Canada? They're called jewelweed or touch-me-not. :) I have them in my garden and they can also be found in ravines and on shorelines in swampy areas. They like a lot of water. In the Niagara escarpment under the heavy canopy with the constant moisture? They'll grow on trees, out of rocks, wherever. They're native annuals, so they rely on reseeding, but do they ever reseed! The young shoots, thankfully, are edible cooked.

Me and @romancetickets have been making a like 40/60 canon and our own rewritten version of Hatoful Boyfriend called Phoenix Wings for fun ( we are not making a game or anything LOL )

A bunch of stuff is rewritten and I made a bunch of new ocs to fill roles instead of using the actual characters??? I thought it’d be fun and it has been :3

Also Orchid and his dad (Jewelweed) are there LOL I will never cease

#Toybox-Arts #Phoenix Wings #Chakor #Jewelweed #Orchid #Emile #Death #it was fully just made to rp and make inspired hot bird men #backstories and character relationships are WAAAY different though!#having fun and chillin #i may post more! maybe maybe #some older and one newer piece of art in this dump hehe #Blood
