The idea was to find the first flowering member of a family, photograph it, and report it. It started several years ago, and we used email and attachments for a couple of years, then Ben started this blog. The blog purpose has since changed, and we no longer play the family game.Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-44478126844578413862011-12-17T13:55:09.047-08:002011-12-17T13:55:09.047-08:00Hello, i saw you were playing a family game and ke...Hello, i saw you were playing a family game and keeping score or something.. what's that exactly?rubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114778476083869269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-84280148532198781352011-12-13T13:52:53.029-08:002011-12-13T13:52:53.029-08:00I chewed some tobacco one time and that was it for...I chewed some tobacco one time and that was it for me. I wonder what it was that Thoreau had been chewing that he could compare to tobacco. I wouldn't think chewing evening primrose would be habit forming. Lactuca maybe possibly.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533927415132933960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-71527829970198552612011-12-10T20:37:54.150-08:002011-12-10T20:37:54.150-08:00Which reminds me of something Thoreau once said.

The common evening primrose Oenothera biennis has a distinctive mild peppery taste and also when you chew it it has a slight muciliaginous okra-like quality. Not sure but I would guess Oenothera laciniata would have a similar taste.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533927415132933960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-58870829212522885152011-12-08T10:40:04.459-08:002011-12-08T10:40:04.459-08:00Could be an odd Oenothera laciniata.
