#krameriaerecta is considered by vitalists,
one of the four most important southwest #turtleisland remedio plants, blooming 900m Santa Catalina foothills, 4th week March, waxing gibbous moon in Virgo. The plant can be 'scented' while blooming for 1.5km approx 1 mile away, once the flowers open and is said to have the ability, just by the scent in infused oil to create 'ancestral healing memory'.
It was the single most used herb by the hummingbird's daughter, #SantaTeresita, who would rub the oil on incurable wounds. The Blue Lady, Santa María Agreda, who bilocated to the foothills from España said it was the scent of the mother Jesus.
#Calochortuskennedyi - desert mariposa lily blooming last week of March
is #peakbecoming
within the biospirit collective, gravel meadows, full sun ocotillo palo verde, 900m madrean.
The #hummingbird has a #gilamonster friend guarding her two eggs in the nest, I am not at all surprised. For the full moon. https://youtu.be/m8t6AONEfbI?si=EG8j1cFbv0Di7LRE
#Helodermasuspectum #Gilamonster 4th week March, southwest Madrean Sky Island foothills, 1000m 3000ft creek bottom, temperature was unreasonable warm, 39.5C or 102 in ameri-temperature. Heloderma suspectum is a venomous lizard native to borderlands and Mexico, they move kinda slow, with a rather bouncy sure footed gait. While studying plants, I have seen them while studying plants up as far north as far southern Utah, following the Colorado/Virgin river drainage around Hurricane and doing seed gathering in the Mojave. This was a big one about 50cm 2foot long.
#Funastrumcynanchoides - fringed twinevine Syn:(Sarcostemma cynanchoides)
: climbing #milkweed
Plant Form: twining climbing sonora vine, Family: Asclepiadaceae and according to others Apocynaceae or dogbane family, so formerly a milkweed, and the flowers appear milkweed-like likewise the seed pod, it has milky sap when broken at the stem. The scent of the plant smells similar to garlic, chives, onion . Growing flowering last week of March, 900m madrean Island foothills, a southern Arizona continuing south across the border. Growing along riparian habitat, moist sandy soil, growing supported by grasses. The leaf is thin, elongated broadly cordate at the bases, with deep set lobes and in less harsh environments the leaves, as I remember were mistaken at first sight by some for Aristolochia as both are vine perennials, growing in similar habitats. While Aristolochia does not ever have bright white elmer's glue latex, at broken stems, no garlic, sulfur scent. Funastrum cynanchoides is a true upward reaching vine climber . 
The flowers are intricate in star-like umbel like clusters. As said before this was blooming today March 29, in field study, normally it would bloom mid April.
Many flowering plants this year, are going directly early to seed flower, skipping the leafing stage. Plants in this 50 year extended drought are putting all energy into essential essence, flower seed boom.
The 2019-2020 years saw unusual fire patterns in lower desert, with saguaros showing a lot of burn scaring that went deep.
Likewise ocotillo collapsed like matchsticks. Some ocotillo went directly to flower without leafing out. Today there were monsoon like thunder storms and it's March not July...

A wheel has twelve spokes, but the hub, the empty part, is what truly performs its function. Go to bed early. Remember, surface activity originates from rest. Similarly, the spine can generate movement even at rest. Power originates from the core of the spine. Leisure time is like a vacation. Let the universe work its magic, rather than acting recklessly out of self-centered ego, which only leads to exhaustion. Therefore, adequate rest is essential for replenishing energy. If a well is constantly drained, it will dry up and require the water table to flow back to replenish the unseen aquifer. Rest is key to action.

Inner Smile: We first need to activate a memory to unlock the inner smile. This memory should be a happy time in your life. Close your eyes and imagine a clear, cloudless blue sky.
Tree Qigong- from the sutra of Master Paul Turtle Island Wild Herb Ways
"Through the use of symbols, Sage People see all the spiritual forces in the world we live in. Symbols determine form and appearance and connect all things." (Great Discourse section of the Book of Transformation) We can use the symbols of the sages; we can actually see the eyes of the sages, feel the hearts of the sages, and hear the ears of the sages. There are different herbs and trees in different situations. There are many different therapies to nourish the spirit of living beings. The genius of the wild grass way is man, plant, place, mountain, river, and grassland. Man, plant, place, and grassland mix and blend throughout time. Whenever this mixing occurs, a new genius wisdom known as the wild grass way arises, self-arranging the inherent patterns in life to renew life. Whether in the Aspen Forest, oak forest, pine forest, hardwood deciduous forest, or in the mesquite, paloverde, gobernadora, button brush, cottonwood tree on the thorny plain, the essential self thus replicates wisdom there, there, and will exist. Whether known or unknown, when there is sincerity and need, inquiry and reception will occur. At the same time, by learning the wild grass way in specific places and situations, you must increase the life force called Qi. The circular wheel begins to move through eight elements of the early pattern: sky, wind, wood, flowing water, mountains, earth, thunder, fire, standing water/swamp lakes, returning in order to the sky. When the sun in the sky sets below the horizon, it becomes cool and dark. They can see the leaves of the cottonwood trembling, even in the slightest breeze. This stirring is the wind that connects and penetrates. As the wind moves, the clouds bring flowing streams. When the rain falls, a rapid scream gust comes, and the water flows. These torrents of water rush down from the mountains. The roots underground go deep down, which is understood as the earth. Understanding the seasons, first, thunder in early spring awakens the earth, mixing the air of the sky and the earth. There are round drums, circles with outstretched skin. In this mixing of heaven and earth, there is a stirring and blending. With the wind, thunder comes and goes. Then they set fire, warming themselves. As the rains fall, a rapid, screaming sound erupts, and the waters surge forth. These torrents of water, charged from the mountains, settle in low-lying pools known as swamps and lakes. Standing at the bottom, the water rises like mist into the sky, and circles return to the sky. Sky, wind, wood, water, mountains, earth, thunder, fire, swamps, and lakes, return to the sky in sequence. On the drumhead, they can see and remember where the sun rises and sinks below the horizon. From four directions, there are eight directions in each direction.
Open the four gates of Qigong. We synchronize our hands with our feet, hips with our shoulders, and elbows with our knees. We pull in with our hands, rotating our palms and pulling them into the rope. We focus on the space between our hands; this is called holding the ball, rotating the ball, spinning the ball, squeezing the ball, turning the ball, raising the ball, lowering the ball, etc.
Paul has said, "The important thing is to get into a position where you learn and accept responsibility, and strive to cultivate vitality as ownership. We cultivate vitality by doing well, eating well, working well, resting well, sleeping well, loving well, fucking well.

#Pteleatrifoliata, hoptree
Plant Form:Shrubby deciduous small tree. 1-3m tall #Citrus family: Rutaceae 4.2026.4 1st week April 1750m southwest sky islands, Arizona, in flower moon Scorpio waning gibbous. Later a light brown, flat winged seed will follow, with a citrus bitter taste.
Ptelea trifoliata has palmately compound leaflets in 3's in other locations the leaf edge may have toothing, these early leaves are not, they are glossy dark shiny green and deeply fragrant. This medicinal western plant was taught and shared by herbalist #MichaelCottingham and John J Slattery in their herbal field schools in the southwest. It is known as a carminative digestive bitter, the leaves, stem bark, and flat seeds have all been used as a nutritive normalizer to digestive absorption. Also used to treat loss of appetite following illness or in old age with cebadilla as a remedio. Likewise used in mild recurring feverish illness with malaise.
Hoptree is used within formula The bark is shiny brown resembling black cherry with prominent lenticels. The twigs are shiny red brown, and the newest spring tipping a luxurious green where the 3 leaves attach. Ptelea trifoliata is The whole tree is fragrant like someone is spraying essential oil citronella skunk chronic misters. I scent the tree long before I see it. The fragrance of Ptelea trifoliata is citrus, mixed with a sour female sex genital scent and feels like I am smelling the Only Fans cat channel Cougar, bobcat, fox orgy incoming.
It is growing in a mishmash of young alder, cherry, Acer box elders, Rubus neomexicanus, willows, a deciduous riparian forest returning after a vast burn in late spring 2015, followed by epic rains and for this canyon, cataclysmic flooding. I visited here before the fire/flood, after the flood when the canyon was scoured, deposited with rock 3-10m deep, and the canyon bottoms appeared to have been paved with small cobble stone and boulders.

Maianthemum racemosum, False Solomon Seal at Deer House by Paul Manski
I think the most important thing in my herbal medicine is where. Where is always a question. I'm not so involved with what's going to happen with the where after I work with it because that is outside of me. It's outside of what I can address and compensate for. So with the medicine road that I'm on at this time it is all about where. Where these plants are growing is important. It is about the house of the plant so I am looking for the plants house. Just like I look for the deer house. I spend time at the deer house looking for the deer house who create the plant songs and stories.
I always acknowledge the Creator who brings us this plant medicine Road and put these plants here for us. For me I think Deer is in charge of putting the plant medicine in front of us and of course there are teachers that come and go and can sometimes drop plants right in front of us. I've seen this happen when we seek them out, some of the old teachers they're not even alive in the sense of having a body anymore but they're dropping the plants down right in front of you sometimes, and you're finding them. Of course they were connected with Deer House and the Deer House teachers and in that ways since were still connected to them.
'Where' is who holds for us the question. Now sometimes I'll meet someone and they will say, "where can I find that?", "how my going to find that medicine? where can I buy it?" So we're using words in this way to talk plant story and it's going this way and that way and sometimes we have to ask some questions to find out if we're on the same page with it. First of all if it's a simple question where?, "where, can I find it? what store can I buy it in?" I'll pretty much tell you straight out you can't buy medicine. You can make medicine, that you can do. Yet you can't buy medicine because medicine is connection. You can't buy connection. Connection is what describes you're being outside of words numbers and labels so you can't use the things that you usually used to remedy the situation of disconnection. Maybe I can help share a connection, maybe I can do that and maybe I can't. I think the more that I think about it, medicine is a verb it's not a noun. And this whole illusion of disconnect kind a world that we are supporting in different ways makes itself known Lotta times in our language and our thinking process. You see this a lot of times with things like maybe for example basketball, someone might say basketball and it's one of those words it's supposed to be an action and activity yet somehow in this illusion of disconnect world it's been converted into a passive thing. So if someone says basketball they may be talking about eating chips and salsa in front of the TV and they make in their minds all this into a kind of basketball. Let me tell you this is not basketball. Basketball is a game that you play by running around and dribbling the ball outside, shooting it. You're jumping up-and-down. Maybe you're yelling and screaming and high-fiving and your body is sweaty and your heart rate is being fast. OK this is basketball. Eating chips in front of the TV with salsa and guacamole is not basketball. We could call it eating chips and salsa in front of the TV-ball, or make up a new word for it that someone has never said before. Yet it's nothing to do with basketball. And it's the same way with medicine. It is the same way with our bioregional plant medicines, with our plant medicines with our medicine. It is the same way with our spirit songs that the deer house keepers bring to us now and then when we're ready for them.
Maianthenum racemosum, false Solomon Seal, Growing this kind of way, soft, north side shady, cooling, moon-story, wind sheltered, likes to spend time with poison ivy. So watch out or you'll get all kinds of welts and wet itchy hives because where Maianthemum racemosum is so is poison ivy .
Now with herbalism and the the plant medicine road, we are going for a smooth gradual shift that is of itself connection. So in that way it's not a sudden revolution like a heroic medicine. It's slow gradual shift we are working on. We're working on slow shift of the roots, a root shift. As you look at the ocotillo root you realize that their deep in the ground, invisible yet working all the time behind the scenes making things happen, slowly pulling up the nutrients and that's the shift that we're going for. It is about nourishing becoming. If you look at the leaves and branches at the tips of the ocotillo with brilliant sweet smelling orange red ocotillo flowers, you'll see them moving in the wind back-and-forth in whatever way the wind moves. now this is how heroic herbalism functions. Heroic medicine is in the very periphery of the leafs and top branches. In heroic medicine we go from symptom to symptom and as we know from allopathic medicine, from side effects to side effects, from side effects to symptom of the side effects, to the side effects of the solution we create more side effects so now we need to dress more symptoms and we just keep going around and around is a circle, like the ocotillo branches way up at the top of the plant, with a lot of movement yet not a lot of direction. The direction we are seeking is self-thus from the inside of the being, from the roots which as its nature is flowing with homeostasis and healing without thought or plan always becoming real healing movement. The heroic herbalism of the ocotillo branches is kind of going without any plan. We are jumping. We are suddenly and impulsively acting and we are jumping in the air. Now we are landing on our feet awkwardly maybe falling down after jumping too high and trying to attend our balance. Now we are going to left, now we are going to the right, and we become very worried. We're practicing to be very anxious and very fluttering like the very tips of the leaves of the ocotillo. We are always reacting. Acting without a center is the anxiety illness way. A lot of people in this illness disconnect kind of situation become very familiar and close to their emotions and will put a lot of value and importance to their emotional states. A lot of people when they think of emotions they think of emotions as in their heart. They'll say something like "my emotions", "my feelings". They think of emotions as something that are very deep and central to their being. Yet emotions are very much with the leaves and branches of the ocotillo. Emotions are very much at the surface and they are not at the heart. We may feel emotions inbour heart but they are not central to our being, in fact they are a symptom of the illusion of disconnect. In fact if you want to find a situation of imbalance then focus on the emotions. If you want to increase your disconnect then center your focus on emotions, work with your emotions if you want to stagnate and go nowhere. Emotions can only take us a very short distance because they are at the surface. Emotions are like the very top orange red flowers ofthe ocotillo they go this way in the wind they go that way in the wind. May be a rain will fall and then there will be green leafy branches.
Then it will dry and become warm in the leaves will fall. These are like flowers the opening is short, very quickly and even though they were important they are not central to the function and being of the ocotillo. Yes we need flowers for reproduction and as we know the emotions are very important for romance, feelings of love and whatnot the heightened sense of sexuality. Yet this is not central to the relationship. The relationship between a man and woman is centered on a long-standing deep commitment.
