  • Nothing says late summer quite like the blooming of the goldenrods. These conspicuous members of the aster family get a bad rap because many folks blame them for causing hay fever. This is simply not true! In this video we take a closer look at a small handful of goldenrods as a way of celebrating this ecologically important group.
    Goldenrods featured in this episode:
    Canada Goldenrod - Solidago canadensis

    Excellent video. Appreciate you showing the many different kinds instead of just the canadensis version and acting as though it's the only Goldenrod as so many do.

    I became captivated by huge goldenrods growing along the wooded path my dog & I walked this year. What a discovery! It was a mystical experience to see & be around them. And so began my love affair with the golden flower. Not even knowing what I was doing - I reverently picked some of the magnificent blooms, cut them up & put them into jars with apple cider vinegar creating an amazing elixir. (We must have been together in a past lifetime.) Their essence, vitality & lifeforce enhance my bath water - restoring my body & soul, removing all negative energy & healing my aura.

    Matt, I was hiking and exploring in Western Mass a few years back and stumbled upon a field of Canada Goldenrods. What mesmerized me the most was the fragrance! The whole field was filled with that pleasant, sweet, honey-like fragrance. As a matter of fact, I am super big on fragrance. It's one of the most precious things for me. Because of this, almost all of the orchids in my collection are fragrant. I also grow a couple of gardenias indoors and a Fragrant Tea Olive! I even have a fragrant succulent, the String of Pearls, which flowers smell a bit like cinnamon! Keep in mind that a lot of people who are into plants are also into their fragrance.This leads me to giving you a constructive feedback. Now Matt, at one point in this video you took a big whiff of the goldenrod and that's pretty much it. It would be great if you would mention if a plant that you found/are talking about is fragrant or not, and if it is, take a few seconds to describe the fragrance and if it is strong or subtle! This would be greatly appreciated by me, and I'm pretty sure by many other watchers! Great content by the way! Keep it up! Stay chill

    Actually I was watching Casper cartoon and I saw Goldenrod area which sad watchdog entered to there while his eyes bandaged with bandanna for testing his smell capabilities following one flower Casper drags around. He started to sneeze and lost his path.
    After that scene I started to search this flower and look what I found. WOW!

    Thank you for this! I love learning about all the free food & medicine God put on my property-Goldenrod being one of my favorites!
    My question is… @4:00 you’re in front of “Showy Goldenrod” & right next to it is similar looking plant with white flowers instead of yellow. Do u happen to know what that white flowered plant is called? I have tons of goldenrod on my property but I also have quite a few of the white flowered plants as well. that looks very similar to goldenrod but with tiny white flowers instead yellow. Does Goldenrod have a white flowered variety? The leaves taste & smell exactly like goldenrod. I’ve looked online but get conflicting info. Thank you for your time :)

    Lavender asters and goldenrod look beautiful together. The early colonists were much struck by this color combination. At one time lavender symbo;lized little boys and a limpid yellow, little girls. The signs for sacrifice in the Roman Colosseum were in these colors. generally 80 per cent little boys, twenty per cent little girls. All they really had was this moth mullein and the proportions were wrong.
