Dark. Well done but pretty dark. Never made it through an entire episode.

Same. Although if I get in a proper mood, I may return to it.

A member of the Iris family?

Iris Family: Iridaceae
No not an Iris, it is Prunella vulgaris, Family: Lamiaceae.

Prunella vulgaris, aka "Self-heal," is a herbaceous plant in the genus Prunella. Self-heal is edible: the young leaves and stems can be eaten raw in salads; the plant in whole can be boiled and eaten as a potherb; and the aerial parts of the plant can be powdered and brewed in a cold infusion to make a beverage.

Self-heal?

Prunella vulgaris plant is commonly known as the self heal herb. It has been used medicinally for centuries. In fact, the entire plant, which is edible, can be used both internally and externally to treat a number of health complaints and wounds. The plant’s most common use is for the treatment of cold sores.

I found it growing down by the creek. Very few of the plants here in Kentucky are anything like what I was used to in the Sonoran Desert. Neither are the animals.

Today I was storing some bead board left overs after using it on the walls of the bathroom off of my den when I heard a crashing and banging in the woods behind me. I turned around just as a rather large black bear came out of the woods.

The bear looked at me, I looked at the bear. I called Lynnette to bring my camera outside but she couldn't hear over the TV, so I went in, grabbed the camera, tuned it on as I went out and... the bear was gone.

I found this image of a Kentucky black bear. They are a lot bigger than the Sonoran Desert black bears.

I'm very glad you made it out of that encounter unharmed.
