Description
Climbing 60+ feet into trees, while holding our coast together, few people have seen a root of catbrier
What is Smilax? Smilax is also known as greenbrier and occasionally carrion vine, due to its intense, slightly unpleasant scent. Other names for the plant include catbrier, bamboo vine and jackson vine. It is a common forage food found along the east coast of the United States. Smilax plant uses throughout history range from food to medicinal. Noteworthy in Smilax information references is its potential use to treat dementia and Alzheimer’s. Numerous clinical trials indicate it may have a range of medical uses as a natural remedy.

Almost looks like a giant mosquito.. I sometimes wonder how many plants could provide us with natural medications.

This is an amazing picture. This strange tuberous thing looks like nothing I have ever seen before, and there is an almost abstract quality to it. The subtle ripples in the water, and the fact that you can see the bottom all help to create a great mood too. What doesn't help is that structure on the upper left. I would have cropped that out of this photo.
