Hello dear friends, my name is Adelys and I live in Orlando, Florida. I am in the process of finishing my OEC in Ethnobotany, and this class was one of the requirements. I am excited to get to know all of you and the plants in your environment.I am a stay at home mom and an amateur herbalist, I enjoy hiking and forage occasionally. Recently i did a death doula course and am curious as to how ethnobotany and that path intersect. Plants have been apart of my life since a very young age, and something I’ve always struggled with is remembering the scientific terms and hope this course can help me grasp a better understanding of the terminology associated with plants, and their taxonomy. One of my favorite plants to connect with is the Cameilla tree, in the Theaceae family. It’s a small tree almost shrub like and it produces these beautiful flowers that almost look like roses. My local botanical garden, mead gardens has an orchard full of different varieties. I hope you enjoy this picture of a unique one.
