article: Mistletoe (Hiker’s Notebook) History, natural history, mythology, medicinal (and toxic) properties, etc. We saw a lot of this down in Savannah and on Jekyll Island during the last two weeks (see featured photo).
images: Curated Collection: Light (Danielle Krysa/Jealous Curator) I’m drawn to these works of art in the midst of darkness, particularly Natalia Juncadella’s and Thomas Jackson’s.
article: Native Hollies Offer More than Holiday Cheer (Colby Galliher/The Outside Story/Northern Woodlands) “You can find northern New England’s hollies in their preferred habitat in bogs, swamps, and other waterlogged areas. The two shrubs – mountain holly (Ilex mucronata) ,,, and common winterberry (I. verticillata) – are common in wetland complexes or their edges, where they can reach 15 feet tall. The species tend to intermingle in these settings, which can make distinguishing them a challenge.”
article: 11 Berry-Bearing Native Plants to Keep Birds Full and Happy (Zoe Grueskin/Audubon Magazine) Almost all of these grow in New England.
