Doves

[calamari]

Cal, I was always under the impression that doveweed and turkey mullein were the same thing but those seeds are about the right size.

I kind of thought the same thing but I knew there were two plants they especially liked. This is Doveweed.

Doveweed has just a few round seeds per flower and doesn't produce a large stalk.
Here's a mature Common Mullein plant with seed head. The seeds look like coarse ground pepper.

Ok, I got it. Yep the first pick (dove weed) we interchange with turkey mullein but I know the second plant as well.

If that taller plant has soft and fuzzy leaves on it, it has been a life saver a time or two. We call it Rocky mountain T.P.

Rocky Mountain Bee Plant and Snow on the prairie are big attractants around here. Glad to see you guy's getting out!:cheers:

Good to know. I was always on the lookout for T.P. substitutes and have used more than my share of cobbles. In plowed farmland...more clods than cobbles. They work but have to be sun baked.

Here is some Rocky Mountain Bee Plant. Find these and it is some good shooting.

Little black seeds drop out of those pods when they start to turn brown. It is a annual and reseeds itself and grows this big with about 12+ inches of rain. Sandy/Loam probably best. 1 pound of this is around 40 bucks. 1 pound has 64,000 seeds and it is best not to cover up the seed when planting or should I just say broadcasting. Seems the birds would find it, but I guess not 64,000 of them.
