Chamaebatia foliolosa, Bear Clover, looking good with the snow.
Very pretty - do bears actually eat it?
Walk in the woods near us today. We have several tree species that make up the landscape.
Walk in the woods near us today. We have several tree species that make up the landscape. I do not like too much Pinus. I find these places too dark. Worse still are the woods composed of Abies. On the other hand, I like the woods composed of Fagus, Carpinus, Larix, ...
I liked the pictures of the forest with snow. The trees appear to be planted in rows. Is this the case? From your description it sounds like the trees are planted in blocks - all of one type together. Is is possible to learn more?
Hi Gail,As far as I know bears do not eat Bear Clover. Another common name for this plant is "Mountain Misery". This species has very aromatic foliage, especially during warm - hot weather. Some find the fragrance / odor objectionable. When I was very young I would get sick to my stomach from its odor - but only when in an automobile. Funny thing happened, when cars were required to reduce pollutants I never got sick any more! Was it the car exhaust or the plant that made me sick?
