You're very welcome Daniel! I too hope you see this plant someday. You can buy seeds from many nurseries and try to grow it if you have an area that is a field or clearing. I love seeing you in the comments bro!
Nice to see the lovely echinacea paradoxa resurgence in your area as well. What was once rare seems to have surpassed echinacea purpurea in nearly all of the prairies we have foraged this year. ;)
Josh! I like your educational videos. I've been wanting to learn more about wild edibles and herbalism. I think you're channel will be very informative in beginning to learn more about plants.
Thank you so much Courtney, I'm glad you like the videos! Hopefully you can find the information you want, if not feel free to let me know what you want to see and I'll try to get it done. It's very nice to have you here! Thank you for commenting!
Thanks Ron! Bees and butterflies absolutely love this plant, so good for pollinators. Thanks for commenting, I always enjoy seeing you in the comments!
Josh...great informative video. Can the flower heads be used to make medicinal tea or salves? Maybe you could do a similar video in the fall showing the gathering of the roots and preparation of herbal medicine - tea and/or tinctures. Thanks
Very informative and well done. Thank you! I read somewhere that the aerial parts could be added to teas as well but haven't had a chance to dig any deeper. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Oh lucky you! I'd like to establish them where I'm at now but haven't been able to get around to it yet, maybe next year. Enjoy your Echinacea, I use it in tincture form combined with boneset whenever I feel a flu coming along. Works like a charm! Thanks for commenting man, I always enjoy seeing you in the comments!
Yeah, UA-cam uses an algorithm to determine what notifications they show people. They say it depends upon how much content they watch by which creators but that doesn't seem to always be the case. Many a person has described their experiences with this new system, all of which have been negative from what I've seen. Enjoy the videos from when you last visited, hopefully you're not too far behind. Either way I appreciate your letting me know you haven't been getting notifications, that can help to know how bad the problem is. I appreciate you, thanks for replying, it really means a lot to me!
Wow, those are just growing wild? I have only ever seen one plant in the wild and it was probably brought by a bird from someones garden, like mine :) Is that Grey-Headed Cone Flower is see in the background too? Beautiful!
Yeah, there's a huge field near my house that has a prairie restoration project going on. There's things from the two coneflower species you see, plus wild quinine, milkweed, rough blazing star, bee balm, mountain mint, and more. It is absolutely beautiful and filled with pollinators. Thanks for commenting!
Ive been looking for a few days and can't find anything definitive. Can all varieties be used for medicinal purposes? Green twister, I believe, is a direct hybrid and mutation. Is it safe to use? Thank you.
Thanks for this identification video! Do you know if Echinacea Purpurea "Magnus" is medicinal? There are so many Purpurea varieties but the lady at the garden center said that Magnus is the original coneflower for medicine.
I grow this in my flower bed, love it, I never knew how to use it so thank you for the video! BTW.....The picture quality of your videos are awesome, I love how you get so up close this means a lot to us.
It is a beautiful plant for sure! I love to make tinctures from the root and when needed I'll mix it with Boneset and Goldenseal for a powerhouse to rid colds and flu at the first sign. Works like a charm. Thank you for the kind words Karen! I try to get as close as I can for a concise picture of the details because I wanted these kinds of videos when I started foraging. Thank you for commenting, it's always nice to see you in the comments!
They are pretty hardy plants and are adapted to hot sunny environments. The best advice I have is to keep them watered. Other than that they should grow pretty well. Thanks for asking O J!
The last part of the Latin name is similar, no worries! I'd like to find some Pitcher Plant in the wild somewhere. Thanks for commenting, it's always nice to see you in the comments!
Yes we are using that in our place as herbal medicine. Very interesting content
Very informative and awesome video bro! Thank you for this! I have never seen this plant before, but I hope I do someday. Always learning from you!
You're very welcome Daniel! I too hope you see this plant someday. You can buy seeds from many nurseries and try to grow it if you have an area that is a field or clearing. I love seeing you in the comments bro!
These flowers are VERY BEUTIFUL TO ME. WISH I CAN GROW IT IN GHANA. THANKS
Thank you for the extra info about what happens to the roots of a plant in the fall!
You're very welcome momma, I'm glad it was helpful for you! Thanks for commenting!
What ? I see those all the time . I love your videos ! Thank you .
You're very welcome Dee, now you can go harvest some come fall and make some great medicine! Thanks for commenting!
Your very welcome ... I will be doing that come fall .
Nice to see the lovely echinacea paradoxa resurgence in your area as well. What was once rare seems to have surpassed echinacea purpurea in nearly all of the prairies we have foraged this year. ;)
Here they are pretty even in population, but I see more and more every year. Thanks for commenting Topher!

Video is clear like a picture. Thanku
You're very welcome friend! I think this is one of the clearest videos I've done, hopefully I can repeat the picture quality again!

Trillium: Wild Edibles well apparently my notification bell either got turned off or wasn't on so now I have to get caught up.

You bet 👍
How do you prepare, or what do you do with the root to make these things?

Trying to grow some in my yard currently, but I hope it isn't too hot and sunny for them. Any advice for growing them is useful and appreciated!

Omfg you actually replied to me!!!!! :O Dude, you're like, my hero. This means so much to me thank you!!!!!
Does stag horn sumac have white sap?
For a second I thought this video was on sarracienia purpurai. Don't know why.
The last part of the Latin name is similar, no worries! I'd like to find some Pitcher Plant in the wild somewhere. Thanks for commenting, it's always nice to see you in the comments!
Now I'm confused with the use of it, 😞
All of the plant is medicinal.
