Native persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) we collected in early October 2024. These were left to rot for a few weeks and then sowed in propagation trays at the Earth Sangha's ( @earthsangha.bsky.social ) Wild Plant Nursery.

So looking forward to the Springtime when @madelinebright.bsky.social and I spend inordinate amounts of time laying in the leaf litter looking for little buddies like this rue-anemone! Photo taken in May 2020.
