looks like a couple different types of wild carrot?

tough to tell without a key

you wont find a tww botanist without a key nearby, and theyll be disappointed when they are unable to key

1/6/2011 5:07:20 PM

^ I don't think it's wild carrot, though it might be. It's called "sakuna" in Okinawa but I can't find any real information on it other than some pharmaceutical studies

Oh hah, one of the links finally had the scientific name for it: Peucedanum japonicum

why did you ask about this plant you think its pretty?


just curious

1/6/2011 5:28:37 PM

Naw, it tastes good in stir fries and salads. I'm hoping to find the common name for it so I can find out where to buy it and eat it

1/6/2011 5:45:16 PM

ahh

What part do you stir fry? The flower or the leaves?

The leaves. I guess you could eat the flower too but I've only ever had the leaves.

If it stinks it is a bradford pear tree

3/7/2011 8:16:28 PM

^^ Naw, not dogwood. The flowers are smaller and bunched similar to cherry blossoms.

^ haha I haven't gone up and sniffed one. But they're blooming all over the place.

Bradford Pear

3/7/2011 8:38:50 PM

are those the ones that smell like jizz?>

3/7/2011 8:48:12 PM

Yes!! The first few days Bradford Pears have a mucous (jizz) type smell. Then it progresses into rotting fish/ass/disgustingness.

3/7/2011 9:25:24 PM

They're pretty but I hope my neighborhood doesn't start to smell like jizz

3/8/2011 9:42:02 AM

At least the jizz smell is better than the disgusting rotten fish smell that comes afterwardss

3/8/2011 11:41:24 AM

i'm a tdub botanist, and i want to know what sakuna tastes like

3/9/2011 4:18:24 PM

It's kind of like a cross between mustard greens and arugula if that makes sense.
