It’s crazy to think about how many plants people must have eaten, smoked, ingested, etc. over history to find out what will make you hallucinate or heal you or whatever. Very beautiful picture and cool that it flowers in the winter also.

It is, but I think that animal behaviour was carefully studied first before people tried it because humans who live as hunter-gatherers are acutely aware of how toxic some plants are
I agree, I always just picture Indigenous people thousands of years ago trying to survive, eating new fruits, plants, and animals and having to learn the hard way what is going to kill you and what’s not.
Plants do warn those that eat them with taste and smell cues and the general rule is to ingest only a very small amount, wait and hour or two to check the effects before consuming any more
Very informative.... your teaching me some life lessons over here. I’m glad I follow you.
