I too am learning about reframing so-called invasive plants with different language. I work with plant material in my artwork and I loved reading about the “displaced relatives” approach.
Great article Adrienne, while on the Sunshine coast late one summer we harvested a few camas bulbs just to see what it was like to eat. We new it could either be white or blue camas. It was so bitter we new it was 'white' and stopped eating. But my brother in-law persisted with eating a bit more and had a psychedelic experience that evening with lots of nausea and vomiting.

Lots to ponder, right?

Yoiks, that's a crazy, somewhat frightening, story! I'm glad everyone is okay. I look forward to hearing about it!
