Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
Sorry, HelenB! I was so thrilled to find a root in the usually-unseen process of splitting a stone, I could not think of any words to say! When in doubt, though, check the "Labels" at the bottom of the post :)

Maybe a tiny bit of "speech" would help here. Rock? Sweet potato? ????

OK! now that you've told me that the lighter-colored, wiggly thing is a root, I'm duly impressed.
DeleteThat's a mighty strong root! Happy Saturday, Quinn!
ReplyDeleteHmm, it is a puzzle. If that's a rock, do you think the root split it or do you think the root grew out of the crack in it?
ReplyDeleteMore likely the root took advantage of a fault line in the rock.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting! Roots really can do such damage if they are in the wrong spot. Best wishes, Tammy
