Picked this plant when i was a small child. The red berry stalk was so attractive. I remember my hands feeling like they were on fire. I never touched this plant again. Still growing on our property.
Your knowledge and enthusiasm is so infectious. The weather is getting milder and with book in hand I'm going on a forage venture. Lots of ivy in the the garden so I think that's my first port of call with the washing and saving not only money but the environment too . Thank you x
In kurdish culture this plant so famous one of the traditional food for us so tasty food we called ( curry) we boiled for minimum 2 to 3 hours ingerdiant lam but has to be with bones , cheakpea , rice , smaq powder or lemon, oil, , salt and sasami butter (Tahina) . Today me and my spous went to park and got three bag of it . She cleaned then chopped but has gloves on her hand then washed up nicely then little bit boiled then dried and make small size she want then pot in freezer bag and pot in freezer . When she want cook with rice she will take one bag out of freezer then pot in hot boiling water in small flame and let cook for another 2 to 3 hours with all ingredients I mentioned above 😊
They are all over Greece as well. I remember eating one of the red berries as a kids. Oh boy that was painful! I still remember it! We call it Recondia.
I recently identified this volunteer plant, that was found growing in the very shady area of our backyard, as a Cuckoo Pint. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina in the U.S.A. so I was surprised to learn this plant is mainly found in woodlands 'across the pond' rather than here in the States. It is the end of June and it's now producing the red berries.
Wonderfully informative. I remember seeing this plant in my Nature Study book at school in the early 1960s. Some 60 years on, I have just finally found one - currently with green berries - garden. Bearing in mind it’s beautiful toxicity, to uproot or not to uproot, that is the question!
Kurds eat it 😎 i remember when i told my friend at dorm that we eat it she said girl we have it in our nature even goats dont eat it i was hurt to be honest 😂
Thank you, I mistook the leaf for sorrel and the minute it touched the tip of my tongue it felt sore....now I know the difference because I watched your video❤😍
Nice! I'm an American who recently moved to Europe and just identified this new (to me) plant a few days ago. It was great to get some context around the plant, especially about it's poisonous nature. Good to know!
The arum taking over the pacnw rt now is very different. The milk burns your skin and nothing on this continent can eat it. Deer, turkeys,and even bears wont go near it so snakes and lizards like to hide in it.
Please spare a thought for those of us who are pissed. Quick camera movements are a navigation nightmare. Despite my moaning, You are amazing. Thank You.
Wow I learnt some things about this very familiar plant! One of the best names I've heard for it is "Jack in the pulpit" but it also has a string of snake names like "Adder's bite" and "Snakes' meat" I assume to remind it is poisonous. So is it nonsense that it was called Lords & Ladies / Kings & Queens because it was used in making laundry starch for rich people? I must admit I prefer the more sinful names haha
The berries look vibrant red the ones I found may be a sub species because the leaves are really dark green and shiny but the berries are definitely the same. Arum italicum
The 'pint' in cuckoo pint is pronounced so that it rhymes with mint. I guess you come from an area where it isn't commonly used and read it in a book or online.

I come to say the same thing 😂
Most green leafy plants contain oxalates, like spinach for example. That's why the leaves look similar.
I have got these in my garden in Kent in Spring and I was concerned that they could be wild garlic I planted earlier. Thanks for the useful info
They are all over Greece as well. I remember eating one of the red berries as a kids. Oh boy that was painful! I still remember it! We call it Recondia.
You are amazing and should have your own TV show! My garden is full of these.
9:05 Thank you for all of your knowledge! I live in Kent, and my garden backs on to ancient woodland. I have those plants growing more every year.

Fantastic knowledge as always. I love this plant, great childhood memories of seeing it in the woods and being mesmerised by its beauty.

Our pleasure!
Thank you, I mistook the leaf for sorrel and the minute it touched the tip of my tongue it felt sore....now I know the difference because I watched your video❤😍
I did the same and nibbled a little. Took all day for my mouth to recover.

It looks similar but different to Sorrel
So that is why I have so many of them, the birds have left them as poos. I suppose that means birds are coming to my garden
Love the video
The leaves are very tasty if you cook them properly, they're still eaten in parts of Syria and Kurdistan.

I absolutely love watching your tube

Wonderful video. I wish I had better internet access. We have relatives of this plant in the US.
We have them growing (pest)in our garden in South Australia, super hard to get rid off.💚💚
Love it, and love the book!
Didn't know they grew so big, good job I don't poo in the woods 😂 thank you xx
🤣
My mate
Thanks for the warning on that one! Those crystals would not bring a good time.

Just bought your book
💚✨
Wow a long time I find for this. Please tell me where it is?

Oh, you didn't say anything about the healing benefits of the root, which has scientifically proven medicinal properties
Never heard of this plant, BUT for goodness sakes, quit cuddling with it! It sound perfectly dreadful!

I'm in Birmingham west midlands I'm about to dig it up and throw it 😂
Omg do you want to poison someone?
