Rebecca's photo challenge: Pacific Northwest Plant Knowledge Cards

This summer Rebecca brought the coolest deck of cards to the lake: Pacific Northwest Plant Knowledge Cards.  Each card names a plant with its English and Latin names as well as up to three indigenous languages where there is a name for that plant in the language.  It also has two descriptive sections -- one that describes the plant and one that describes uses for the plant.

Rebecca challenged her niblings to find a plant and take a selfie of themselves with the plant and the card. Axel wanted to participate and asked me for help finding cards in the deck that I thought he might be able to find.  I have been paying special attention the past few years at the lake to plants that can be eaten, or that have practical uses.  On top of that, I have many decades under my belt of Arta pointing out different plants as we walk back and forth to the beach or through the forest.  Axel and I made a good pair in the challenge.
