What’s in my back yard?


Looks like an orchid? Definitely not something I planted

    Jewelweed aka touch me nots. Hummingbirds love them, and so do I ❤️ (and they’re an old remedy for poison ivy)

    They’re called touch me nots because their seed pods EXPLODE when you touch them it’s the coolest thing. (The seed pods are the little green parts that look like pea pods)

    Fun note: Cherokee used to carry part of the plant on them for luck in their hunts
