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.

“Woodlot vagrant and trashy saint,

my love for you through decades grows,

Mortal skin rubbed with voodoo juice

Wards off ivy poison and chigger foes.

And from those fragile pods I pinch

a coiled-up confetti erupts,

Ah, those mundane seconds

of summer snooze

your joyful trick disrupts!

With fiery orange and yellow lips

Thirsty fliers you long seduce.

Delivered on frantic wings,

They burrow fast and draw deep sips.

Such a divine delirium

Your subtle perfume and nectar sow,

A succulent secret

Only you, me, and the bumblebee know."

Thus concludes another edition of my bad nature poetry, this time in honor of two of Appalachia’s most-beloved summer jewels (Impatiens pallida and I. capensis).

Today I saw a liverwort for the first time!

I stood and watched a little heron perched on a tree and saw the most brilliant, jewel-like metallic blue and green dragonfly with wings the velvety black of the night sky.

The ironweed is blooming in rich royal purple, jewelweed in vivid orange, wingstem in bright sunny yellow, and cardinal flower in unbelievably vivid scarlet. Yellow goldenrod, magenta phlox, white Virginia clematis. Meadows and streambanks along the hiking trails are rainbowed with wildflowers. I appreciate wildflowers individually, but placed together their bright colors are a whole other tier or beauty.

There's a spot with a little meadow full of milkweed and the monarch butterflies have a breathless majesty that never goes away no matter how often I see one.

Walking home I heard a chorus of frogs and stopped for a while to listen to them.

Somehow I'm most excited by far about the liverwort.

Repostober 27 - 2015

A small series of "Flower Language" (and leaves) portraits for some gems. I definitely did research (though couldn't tell you the sources anymore) and picked stuff out for all the major characters but only finished these three. Actually I found the notes doc I made, helpfully with reference pictures, so I can tell you what each of these ones are and what they mean! Under the cut.

Amethyst

Clematis (large light purple flowers) - Artifice/Trickery

Larch (pink and berry-looking) - Audacity

Sloe (blue berries) - Difficulty

London Pride (white with pink spots and middle) - Frivolity

Jewelweed (purple heart-shaped flowers) - Impatience

Coriander (background foliage, small ruffled leaves) - Hidden Worth

Peridot

Hollyhock (white, sort of trumpet shaped flowers) - Ambition

Euphorbia (small yellow flowers in clusters of three) - Persistence

Rose, yellow (...I think you know what a rose looks like.) - Jealousy

Clotbur (large three-pointed leaves) - Rudeness

Lapis Lazuli

Mourning Bride (large bunches of tiny white flowers) - "I have lost all"

Anemone (white star shaped flowers with deep blue middle) - Forsaken

Columbine, blue (Small white flower with long periwinkle outer petals) - Desertion

Jacob's Ladder (small purple flowers with long stamens) - "Come down"

Aloe vera (long thin spiked leaves) - Grief

Oak Leaves (wiggly? hopefully recognizable lol) - Bravery

I remember looking at a lot of different sources to get the kinds of meanings I was looking for. Not the usual stuff for bouquets that all mean varying levels of love and friendship and whatnot. So some of these could be kind of made up! You can never trust the internet. But I tried.

Chapter 11 - Remember Me?

Draco apparated to Theo’s house in the small hours of the morning. The experience last night had left him feeling raw. He had admitted to Hermione that he loved her, and they had made love for hours afterwards. She hadn’t said it back and he hadn’t expected her to, but she didn’t turn him away or object when the madness took hold. He had originally thought the Amortentia idea had been stupid, but he realised that he now owed Daphne his thanks.

As soon as he reappeared Pansy came running toward him down the hallway. Her makeup was smeared, and she was still wearing the dress from last night. Her bare feet made barely any sound at her approach; her shoes probably abandoned in her panic.

“I don’t know what to do,” she whispered. She was chewing on her nails, a habit she hadn’t done in years. “He’s not responsive and I don’t know what he’s taken. None of the bottles are labelled.”

Draco followed her into Theo’s bedroom. It was pristine as usual, the bottles discarded on the side table the only sign that anything untoward was happening. That and the sprawled lank figure in the bed. Draco rearranged Theo’s limbs into a safer position and cast a diagnostic charm.

The reading glowed green, yellow and orange cycling through Theo’s body, changing from minute to minute. Draco surveyed it silently before picking up the vials and sniffing them one by one.

Draco frowned. “If the readout and my nose are correct, he’s taken a hefty dose of Dreamless sleep. Relatively harmless if taken irregularly but some of these results are concerning.” Turning back to the centre of the room he called out, “Ralby.”

The little elf popped into existence and looked at Draco with wide eyes. “Yes, Mister Malfoy?”

“How often is Theo taking these dreamless sleep potions?” Draco cornered the house elf crowding in on its space.

“Master Theo has not been taking the potions at all lately, but three days ago, he came home very sad and spent the day in his lab.” Ralby looked over at Theo sadly, “He’s been like this ever since.”

The readouts flickered slightly, one section turning yellow from the green before stabilising again.

Draco sighed, “Ralby, I’m going to need to use the lab to brew for a couple of hours. Did anything happen before that day? Anything at all we should know?”

The little elf hesitated, shuffling from foot to foot.

“What happened Ralby!” Draco demanded.

“Master was happy!” Ralby objected, “The Miss had been coming here every day and he was so happy.” He hesitated again, “They left together that day. They went somewhere. Since then, I haven’t seen her, and he’s been like this.”

Draco looked sadly at the little elf. “I’ll need Bicorn Horn, Mandrake Root, Jewelweed, Salamander Blood, Griffin claws and Erumpent Fluid. Bring them to me down in the lab.”

He began to walk off when Pansy grabbed his arm. “What do I do?”

He ran a hand down his face. “If any of the read outs turn orange come get me immediately. He should wake up in a couple of hours and I’d like to have these ready.”

She nodded and he disappeared into the lab. After several hours of brewing, he joined her back upstairs with the two potions in his hand. She had dark circles under her eyes and her perfect nails were worn down to the skin.

She looked up as he entered her voice tremulous, “He hasn’t moved.”

Draco nodded and went to observe the diagnostic. His brain waves were starting to fire back up. He’d be awake soon. With a sigh, he perched on the edge of the bed and waited for him to come to.

The first sign that Theo was awake was a groan followed by a kind of slow flailing. As he sat up and rubbed his eyes before he noticed Draco.

“Oh.” He deadpanned.

“Yes,” Draco replied. “Oh. What the fuck were you thinking? You didn’t come to the club last night so Pansy came to check on you and couldn’t wake you up.”

Theo’s eyes darted over to where Pansy sat curled up in the chair and gave her an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. I forgot about the club. Were you ok without me?”

Pansy shot out of her chair and stormed over to the bed poking her finger into his chest. “I don’t give a shit about the club. I was worried about you. I’m concerned about you!”

Theo grimaced. “Look I’m sorry.” He fell back onto the pillows and place an arm over his eyes. “I did something stupid, and I needed to forget for a little bit ok?”

“Three days is not a little bit Theo,” Pansy objected.

Theo lifted his arm and glared, “It is technically only two. It took me a bit of time to track down shrivel figs at this time of year.”

“Shrivel figs,” Draco’s voice was cold. “You’ve been brewing Euphoria again!”

Draco blinked and tried to push away the memories. Finding found Theo like this over and over again at different times and in different places. Euphoria wasn’t in itself a dangerous drug, but it was ridiculously addictive and often destroyed the lives of people who overused it. People like Seventh Year Theo and Post-War Theo.

Theo sighed. “I just needed it ok. There’s no more. It’s all gone.”

“Did you break up with her?” Draco pushed, “Is that why?”

Pansy snarled, “If she hurt you, I will end her.”

Theo shot up and pointed at Pansy. “We didn’t break up and this is not her fault.” He gulped. “I did this to myself. All she did was go along with what I wanted. I just didn’t realise how stupid an idea it was until afterward.”

Draco cautioned, “We can’t help you if you don’t let us in Theo.”

Theo looked away and avoided their eyes, “She’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. It’s not her fault I’m a dumbass.”

Pansy snaked a hand onto his shoulder, her voice gentle. “You’re not a dumbass Theo. Whoever she is, she’s lucky to have you.”

Theo laughed; the sound bitter. “That couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, I’m lucky to have her.”

Draco cleared his throat and held the two potions out to his friend. “Take these. There’s more downstairs in the lab. Your diagnostics were showing some yellow and orange shading through the brain. These should help you come good in the meantime until your body naturally heals.”

Theo took them and sat up. He downed both potions, placing the empty bottles on the side table. He clasped his hands together and looked down.

“Thank you,” He hesitated, “I don’t deserve you.”

Pansy lunged forward and wrapped him in a bear hug. “Of course, you do! You’re the sweetest, and kindest person I know. I just wish you’d open up to us. Not everything has to be a life-or-death secret.”

Draco was watching Theo like a hawk. He’d only ever seen Theo this messed up over Potter. Well, he now knew it had been Potter. He was the only person who made sense in the timeline, but this wasn’t him. Ralby had said it was a girl. It certainly looked like Theo was finally moving on and falling for someone new, but Draco was suspicious. He could handle Theo’s signature brand of breakdown that wasn’t a problem.

“Does she know?” He asked shifting slightly on the sheets, “Does she know what you came home and did to yourself?”

Theo looked at him over Pansy’s shoulder, “No. I haven’t seen her since.”

Draco barked out a laugh, “I thought you liked this girl! You disappeared for three days!”

“She knows I’m never free on Fridays,” Theo muttered, “But I’ll have to apologise for Thursday and Wednesday.”

Draco stood and dusted off his pants. There were still remnants of the potion-making process caught in them. He wanted to get back home to Hermione and he desperately needed some sleep.

“Are you going to be ok for Thursday this week? Blaise and Astoria were asking questions last time.” Draco asked.

Theo pushed himself up further in the bed. “I’ll be there.”

Draco nodded goodbye to them both and apparated away.

I’ve likely seen many others and just couldn’t identify them, but there are a lot I’ve never seen growing wild. What I’m hoping is that some of the native species I have in my garden will make their way to the nearby ravine. If I get around to it, though, I might just take a walk with some Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) seeds in the fall. They certainly seem to successfully germinate in my garden whether I want them to or not (don’t have space for them to go crazy). Can’t see why they wouldn’t in a natural swamp area.

Pale Jewelweed

Contrary to the surrounding Pale Jewelweed flowers, this lone plant displayed a white flower. As a common plant, Impatiens pallida, I have seen countless yellow flowers, yet this was the first time I found one that was white.

Trying to psyche myself up to finish a wip; here are some end of summer / beginning of fall paintings and drawings. I will note; the wildflowers at the edge of the pond looks like an artistic exaggeration. However, all those flowers are really there this time of year. Purple ironweed, pink Joe Pye and knapweed, orange jewelweed, white boneset, yellow goldenrod and wild sunflower. September is the wildflowers’ finest season!

Ok *deeeeep breath* I will stop stalling and work, now.

Despite its undignified name, Muddy Creek is a lovely mountain stream that normally runs fast and clear on its steep descent to Cheat River. But after a week of heavy rain in NC-WV, the stream looked a bit murky yesterday. Not even the sediment washing away from the mountains dims its beauty in my eyes. And the enchanting, moss-encrusted forest along its bank holds its own late summer treasures.

From top: great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), which pairs beautifully with cardinal flower to provide late summer color in a native wildflower garden; white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata), which is the most common of the shade-loving white asters in this area; crooked-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum prenanthoides), also known as zigzag aster, whose clasping, spatula-shaped leaves distinguish it from big-leaf aster, another woods-loving aster with lavender flowers; blue-stemmed goldenrod (Solidago caesia), whose spreading, yellow-flowered stems provide stunning late-season color in a native wildflower garden; an intensely-green collage of moss, woodland stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) and heartleaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), which I am trying hard to reproduce in my own native wildflower shade garden; the shaggy-maned stem of Coker's Amanita (Amanita cokeri), one of the most impressive mushrooms of Appalachia's summer forests; beech-drops (Epifagus virginiana), a parasitic plant that grows and subsists on beach tree roots; the bright red berries of false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum); yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), whose explosive seed pods give the plant its other common name, pale touch-me-not; and narrow-leaved tick-trefoil (Desmodium paniculatum), also known as panicled tick-trefoil, a late summer pea whose sticky seed pods commonly hitch rides on shoes and boots.

Was a very nice day for a bicycle ride. Asters, goldenrod, jewelweed, Joe, ironweed, grasses blooming, yellowing leaves falling, sourwood and virginia creeper turning red, chilly but warm in the sun. We rode 17 miles today
