Just GREAT Video!!! So DETAILED, Priceless!!! Thank You So VERY Much. I Subbed, Glad To 😀 Keep it Up, You are Helping us ALL get Beautiful info and Critical DETAILS!!! Superb. 💯💯💯
Prickly lettuce is very common here. It can be much shorter than the examples you've shown in dry years, extremely compacted soils, and if it's been mowed during the growing season. I've seen examples in a drought year as short as 12 inches.
I let 2 wild lettuce plants go to seed last year, though I cut a lot of the side shoots off, I have that stuff EVERYWHERE this spring😂 The young plants don't have the hard pickles yet, I cut them into my salad. I made a pain tincture 2 years ago, have not needed any yet.
Very informative. You earn a new subscriber! Wild lettuce is something I researched last year when I found some growing in my garden. Initially I thought it was sow thistle and the plant app was giving me different answers from a Lactuca to a thistle. So I hit the books and did some internet sleuthing for a proper ID. Turns out, I had Lactuca Canadensis not Serriola. So disappointing when I had hoped to put a potent pain medicine in my apothecary. Some folks will use any Lactuca species and claim it has pain relieving properties in the milky sap, but my research says it is the Serriola which is the desireable one, hence the nickname Opium lettuce.
You said the roots of the daylily are edible. Are they not bulbs? Is it the bulbs that are edible, or do they have roots instead of bulbs? Thank you for all the great information.
Yes, technically they are bulbs. I'm sorry for the confusion. I honestly thought I corrected that in the original video but apparently I did not, unfortunately. That is my mistake. It was about 95 degrees when I filmed the video so i wasn't thinking the clearest. Thank you for pointing that out.
Daylily roots are not bulb. The fresh daylily flower bud ( before it flower) is poisonous with colchicine, an alkaloid which can be oxidized into a toxic metabolite known as oxydicolchicine in human body. It can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting. Fresh flower bud soak in water for one hour and cook in boiling water are safe to eat The dried flower buds are safe to eat.
@@coreyl5970 Thank you. What kind of dishes do you usually put them in? Do you reconstitute the dried bulbs for cooking? For some reason, I’m imagining them sliced thinly and added to a stir-fry.
QUESTION: I have been searching for the exact wild lettuce you just showed on my own property. There are PLENTY, but they have BLUE flowers. Are they the same? I think they are called Florida Blue Lettuce, but not sure. They get super tall.
Oh back about 30 years ago when I was living in a home in my backyard there used to be lots of the garlic mustard the invasive garlic mustard along with the wall lettuce and I never knew what it was I thought it was a European Dandelion which can sometimes be yellow or red which I've seen both of in my yard but I thought it was just a form of that I didn't know it was edible and I'm going to have to look for it in the future to see if I can find some around in the city I don't know if I'd want to eat any found in the city but at least the buds I think would be acceptable to pick and cook up and eat.
I'm in mid Michigan but some of the plants the are related are a bit different here to. I haven't seen the yellow flowered this toes but we have purple flowered ones which are prickly, for example. However, we do have the tiger lilies with red and yellow flowers and spots I think. Those were near the roadsides I always thought they were flowers from someone's flowerbeds.
Love your videos! Only problem is, I don’t have enough brainpower to keep everything in mind that you say we should keep in mind-but that’s my limitation! 🤷♀️
Question and I’m not trying to sound foo-foo-ish. I thought I was following you very closely and was making mental notes like mad,(it’s a gift) but when you introduced the hemlocks, I totally missed what parts of them are useful??? I backed the vid up several times and am still missing that info…maybe, my brain is just shutting all that off, since I live on the Mississippi River over in Illinois, and we have literally tons upon tons of both hemlocks growing all over the place. Plato, Socrates, and Rasputin probably should not visit here.😁🤣🤮😇
Water Hemlock is deadly poisonous, so it's important to know so you don't accidentally forage it. Not to be confused with Hemlock trees which are evergreen trees like pine/cedar.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Yes indeed it is. I just thought I had missed something in the video due distractions on my end or because of a glitch caused by my internet provider, the crappiest provider on the planet
I would SOOOOOO buy a wild edible field guide from you! Your videos are very detailed, which I absolutely 💯 LOVE!!!
Me too.
Me 3
Best instructional video. Need his field guide
Me 4
If you have a Barnes and noble book store near you or a tractor supply store both carry the wild edibles books
Starting your videos with a great Monty Python joke is a great way to get a new subscriber ❤
Welcome! It's always nice to have another Monty Python fan here!
You're always concise with information that I trust. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it! And as always you're very welcome!
Thank you for sharing! I may not always comment but definitely always watch!
Thank you! This one helped me identify one of my plants. I didn't want to pull it out of my flowers till I knew what it was.
You're very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Love your teachings
thanks for the very detailed video

Another great video bro!!!
Thank you!
Very good information
I tried raw daylily flowerbuds. Not bad, but not anything I'll be craving. The idea of sautéing sounds good, though. I also want to try the tubers.
I’ve had the day Lily buds dipped in batter and fired. Those were delightful.

Well done. Thanks. A 1 gallon paint strainer bag from The Home Depot
Or Lowes etc. Would work better than coffee filters.

Gonna have to try white clover vanillin tea! 🍵

The tiger lily root is bulb. We eat the fresh bulb and the dried bulb ( usually separated the root petals and dry them individually

Day liles have roots like a fingerling potato, that's the part that tastes the best

QUESTION: I have been searching for the exact wild lettuce you just showed on my own property. There are PLENTY, but they have BLUE flowers. Are they the same? I think they are called Florida Blue Lettuce, but not sure. They get super tall.
Could it be chicory ?
If the plant gets really tall, like 7 to 10 ft. Then its probably blue lettuce.
@@helenpatterson3858 No, I also have that. These blue flowers are tiny like the yellow flowers on the wild lettuce. And the plants are super tall.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Thank you. I'll keep searching, and transplant some, if I have to!
I have a video on my channel titled wild blue lettuce identification that may help. I'd bet dollars to donuts it's blue lettuce.
Great video bro. Question, Is the Elderberry a annual or perennial seed or ?
🌱
Is daylily tea a thing? I’m really into drying things in summer to have in our long winters.

Where are you? Many plants and tree species look a little different in Alaska. Would love for you to do this up north!
I'm in central Indiana so quite a long way from Alaska.
I'm in mid Michigan but some of the plants the are related are a bit different here to. I haven't seen the yellow flowered this toes but we have purple flowered ones which are prickly, for example. However, we do have the tiger lilies with red and yellow flowers and spots I think. Those were near the roadsides I always thought they were flowers from someone's flowerbeds.
"thistles" not "toes"
I forgot that wild lettuce & sow thistle are different lol. Same genus?
No different genus. Wild lettuce is in the Lactuca genus and Siw thistle is in the Sonchus genus.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles no, different genus, got it. Kpcofgs amiright? I would have expected them to be closer. Sow thistle is aster composite family?
Love your videos! Only problem is, I don’t have enough brainpower to keep everything in mind that you say we should keep in mind-but that’s my limitation! 🤷♀️
Just watch it again, and the next day again😎 and take a few notes.
I’m just joking about how constantly he says keep that in mind-it’s a language pattern
@@marthathompson2012 😄
I fart in your general direction! 😂
No go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
