MORE JACKS

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Out hunting this morning. Went into same area
where I pulled up a mercury dime and wheat last
week.

Pulled up a buffalo nickel and a wheat; area could
turn out to be ok.

Got home and noticed this popping up. Not the
green but the reddish/brown, just making the surface.



Dug these up in the woods years ago; each
year they have come back. We have spent so
many years together.

Will update photos as they come up.

all have a good un........

Re: Look What I Found

Happy spring, Sherman! Having dug them in the woods, I guess they couldn't possibly be peonies. But they look like the ones coming up in my garden...when they were just popping up. I found my very first buffalos last week. Not a chance on the dates- found in the sand of a tidal river beach. Ouch! But what a THRILL!!! I've got daffodils I'm been snitching from the woods- and they're faithfully blooming away! I love those happy 'faces'! HH!

Re: Look What I Found

Hmmmmmm.............I'm pretty good with plants, but I'm in Maine and you might have different plants in your area. You look like you might be just a few days ahead of me as it looks like some violet leaves in the background and mine have started to grow, but they aren't quite that far along.........I have daylilies and it looks like you may as well. But these things that have popped up, they might be a bulb.......now what grows wild in the woods that you might have come across and convinced to grow in your flower bed.........


I'll guess lily of the valley. I know where there's a patch just up the road. I'll have to have a run up there now to see if that's what they look like coming up.....

Re: Look What I Found

If those plant were popping up around here, I'd guess marijuana. LOL


OK, I'll take a stab at IDing them. How about Calla Lillies?

The only buffalo nickel I've found was while raking through a small dump, just last year. It just rolled right out of the dry soil - it was a real shock to see that coin after all these years of never finding one. And I didn't even need a detector to find it - just a common old potato rake.

Thanks for the "contest" and congrats on the coins.

Re: Look What I Found

I may be wrong.....I jsut went up and took a picture. The ones around here are coming up green, not brown. I guess I don't know!

I THINK.... ALIEN POD PEOPLE.....

Re: Look What I Found

Upon a second look, I'm changing my guess to Agapanthas. In snow country they will die off to the ground and then pop back up from beneath ground level when the weather warms. Here, they will remain above ground all year long.

Re: Look What I Found

Yeah Sherman, keep us updated with the pics! Interesting....

All the good folks at T. Net:

Charlie P. (NY)

“Ramps!”
No,
but the seed pods are very similar.

freeze12,

"asparagus" ?
No.

Jopher,

“Alaskan King Crabs??”


“Certainly not Lady Slippers!”
No.

lionhrt9,

“Ditto!!!!!!!!! Good call, guessin but i think we got it!!!”
Ditto, no.

dave-enc,

Thanks on the congrats.
Yes, I do so enjoy seeing them “pop“ each year.

Jeffro,

“Looks like a tulip, mine have already come and gone.…”
No.
Our tulips were just coming out when we got hit with
some cold weather this year. Cut back on the production.

NorCal 6er,

Yes, those coins are in poor shape. Will do some work
on them just cleaning them a bit.

“bet there something you found on one of your hunts”
Yes, never know what you will find.

Abbey,
And a happy spring to you Abbey.

“I guess they couldn't possibly be peonies.”
No.

“I've got daffodils I'm been snitching from the woods-
and they're faithfully blooming away! I love those happy
'faces'!”

Just love finding woodland plants. Snitching, yes.
If I only
see a few I leave them alone, but if I come into an
area that
has many I always seem to find a container of some
type, soak them good, and take home and try to plant.

I’m sure He put them there for me to take.

Dunky,

“I'll guess lily of the valley.”
No.

“I'm pretty good with plants”
Sure wish I was. The woman has the green thumbs
for planting. Me, I’m just all thumbs :P when it comes to
planting things. It’s not the planting I have trouble
with, it’s getting them to live.

Treasure Tales,

“How about Calla Lillies?”
could be but you changed your pick.

“The only buffalo nickel I've found was while
raking through a small dump, just last year. It
just rolled right out of the dry soil - it was a
real shock to see that coin after all these years
of never finding one. And I didn't even need a
detector to find it - just a common old potato rake.”

Never know what type of tools will make the find.
But it does seem that folks that metal detect fall
into the habit of really always checking the ground.
Walk around with their eyes on the ground.
Strange folks.

Not sure why those buffalo nickels are so tough to
dig up.
Ditto here, have only found a few over the years.

Dunky,

Perhaps those in your photo will turn dark in a few days

Rudy2003,

“ALIEN POD PEOPLE”
No.

Treasure Tales,

“Agapanthas”
Had to look that one up.
No.

Night Stalker,

“keep us updated with the pics!”

O.K.

Rtde3,

Yes, is good to see me getting out and posting

And you good person,
have a good un……………….

Paul1410,

“I'll wait for the future foliage pics “
Good idea.

Just a side note. Went out to the area where
I found the coins yesterday and did good.
Got myself a "V" nickel 1912.

Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)
Jack in the Pulpit is also known as Indian Turnip.

Plant Type: This is a herbaceous plant, it is a perennial which can reach 65cm in height (25inches).
Leaves: This plant has basal leaves only. Usually two but sometimes one. Each leaf is divided into three almost equal parts.
Flowers: The flowers are irregular in shape and are up to 8cm long (3 inches). They are green with purple or brown stripes sometimes brownish. Blooms first appear in mid spring and continue into late spring. The spathe (pulpit) is most often green streaked with purplish. The spadix (jack) is covered with tiny male and female flowers.
Fruit: A cluster of bright red shiny berries.
Habitat: Rich moist woods.
Range: New Brunswick south to Florida.

Historical Lore: Calcium oxalate crystals present in the entire plant will cause a powerful burning sensation if eaten raw. Properly drying or cooking removes this effect and the Native Americans used the root as a vegetable. There is one account stating that the Meskwaki Indians would put finely chopped root into meat they would leave for their enemies to find, principally the Sioux. The meat was flavorful and would be consumed, but, in a few hours these enemies would be in so much pain they would die! It is reported that they also used it diagnostically by dropping a seed in a cup of water and if the seed went around four times clockwise the patient would recover and if less the patient would die.

Medical Uses: Despite its possible irritating effects there are several accounts of Native Americans using a preparation of the root on sore eyes. It was also used for cold symptoms and as a tonic. Externally it has been used for various skin infections and against pain and swelling.
Warning: No part of the fresh plant should be taken internally

Re: Look What I Found (GYPSY KNOWS)

Wow!...I have never even heard of that kind of flower.

 

[TreasureTales]

Re: Look What I Found (GYPSY KNOWS)

Hmmm, reminds me of a pitcher plant. Are JITP carnivorous?

Thanks for the nature lesson. Always fun learning about wildflowers in other parts of the country, I really enjoy this type of "quiz." One question, though, who in the heck is Gypsy? She knows everything - it's weird.
