LoCO’s daily Instagram battle ran from March 2015 to June 2016. Instagram no longer serves the photos, so what’s left is who posted, when, the votes and the captions.
Voting is closed.

7:12 a.m.: Polypodium glycyrrhiza, also called Licorice fern, is named such because of the sweet, licorice-flavored rhizomes. 🍃Many Pacific Northwest Native American tribes used the rhizomes for medicinal purposes and to sweeten foods and other medicines. In Western medicine, herbalists use it currently for relieving persistent skin irritants. 🍂Spores are located in rounded sori on the undersides of the fronds, as seen here, and are released in cool weather and high humidity🌬#pnw #humboldt #norcal #upperleftus #upperleftusa #pnwcollective #pnwonderland #trinidad #forest #forestfinds #northcoast #ferns #humboldtcounty #explorehumboldt #fern #fernfrond #frond #polypodium #polypody #polypodiumglycyrrhiza #licoricefern #fernfriend #sori #spores #traditionalknowledge #herbalism #themoreyouknow #plantknowledge #botany
