Plants

Some of the pretty (and not so pretty plants) you may encounter during your adventures are unsettlingly poisonous.

Now that it looks like we’re finally done with the cold, winter weather…

This downtown Boise apartment complex is definitely onto something! Everyone else should take note.

If there’s one thing Idahoans know how to do well, it’s to stand up for what they believe in. Even if it comes down to the correct name of a plant. Yup.

Local Idahoans with natural green thumbs let us in on their best kept secret: how to keep houseplants alive.

They're saying this meat-eating plant is hidden in plain sight and it's near several major urban centers in the Pacific Northwest, as far inland as Montana. This sounds like a Treasure Valley treasure hunt waiting to happen.

It's officially summer and for much of the world, it's an amazing thing, but here in the Treasure Valley, your plants are going do DIE! It's a guarantee! And here's why...

It is a light green weed that produces small yellow flowers in the early spring. It is actually kind of pretty and probably something I would think was a native plant or flower. Glad I know better now because this weed is dangerous! The leaves greenish-grey and are thick, fleshy and waxy to the touch.

It's not every day you become immortalized via another life form.
