@NianticWayfarer This is definitely my favorite accepted nomination. It's located on a very popular hiking trail (former railroad) and is one of numerous mining ghost towns located in the New River Gorge area of West Virginia. One of my favorite areas to hike.

Probably going to research other aggressive native species for my area and hopefully get more established in my area in the coming years.

[Sneas @Sneas]

Left to right: Woodbine (Parthenocissus inserta), Japanese Creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidata), Pacific Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans) on the top and Peppervine (Nekemias arborea) and American Bittersweet (Celastrus scandens) below.

[Sneas @Sneas]

The other vine species I'm going to attempt to introduce to the woods behind my house in an attempt to provide competition to the Oriental Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) that I'm trying to control. It's literally the worst invasive species I've ever seen.

The back flowerbed will be interesting this year since it will have Eschscholzia californica (California Poppy), Papaver rhoeas (Red Poppy), Papaver glaucum (Tulpi Poppy), and Papaver dubium (long-headed poppy) all growing together!

[Sneas @Sneas]

Some Tufted Poppy (Eschscholzia caespitosa) and Coastal Poppy (Eschscholzia californica var. maritima) seedlings are sprouting in the front flowerbed! Also bought some Long-headed Poppy seeds to grow in the back flowerbed too!

@AutumnLugia I still find myself randomly dreaming of ex-friends and other bad people I parted with like 10+ years ago too. It's really weird, I guess the brain never truly forgets people like that. :<

[Sneas @Sneas]

The California Poppies are in full bloom! The first of the Red Poppies just bloomed earlier today too!

[Sneas @Sneas]

Also don't mind the metal stakes crisscrossing it. Had to do that to keep cats from destroying them xD

[Sneas @Sneas]

This is another bed I dug out for poppies earlier in the year. Most of these are California Poppies but there's a few Red or Turkish Poppies scattered about. There would be more of those but the ants ate most of the seeds I planted lol. Can't wait until these bloom!

[Sneas @Sneas]

The first California Poppy is in bloom! :3

[Sneas @Sneas]

Dug up a patch in my backyard for some California Poppies! They're growing exceptionally well. Should look amazing when they bloom!

[Sneas @Sneas]

Awesome day for a hike! Did about 10 miles or so today. Also discovered some interesting ruins as well! Appears to be an old homesite or something!

[Sneas @Sneas]

@AutumnLugia That's awesome! I really need to do one of these myself. It's really interesting!

[Sneas @Sneas]

@AutumnLugia Been doing alright, nothing new here except I got vaccinated. :3
Hope all is well with you! ^^

[Sneas @Sneas]

@Soital Omg, I love it all! :33

[Sneas @Sneas]

Storm situational update from @MatthewCappucci:

[Sneas @Sneas]

@AutumnLugia I wish I could send some of my snow your way. I'm getting sick of it XD
