  • i may be a little confused i am looking for arrowhead wapato Sagittaria looks like the same tuber but the leaves are arrow shaped with veins that start from a central point like a palm is this the same plant just different stage of life? i am from central ohio maybe its a different plant but we call it duck potato and arrowhead looks just like arrow arum

  • @bodiemyers WARNING: The Sagittaria latifolia has some resemblance to the Arum, which is toxic. However, the Arum leaf is veinless nor does it blossom the same. More so, if you bite into an unprepared Arum root you will know you have erred significantly. It burns.

  • MMM! That sounds good! I live in NW Ohio and I saw some things that I don't personally see in my area in your videos. They're awesome though! I eat these little purple flowers that grow everywhere around here that have tubular shoot like pedals. Do u know what they're called? I also used to eat these heart shaped tiny weeds that grow everywhere with yellow in the middle. They're fabulous but I don't know what they're called.

  • @emilykbisignano Got pictures?

  • lol thats real cute Dean!

  • @2boddah Well... in those early videos I took some liberties... and the video quality was wanting. I need to remake them. I think Gus The Goose however is gone.
