You know, as a society, we have thought a great deal about plants, but mostly on the food and prettiness spectrums not so much on the ecological slider. So, here you have a Physalis seed husk, on the food end of the spectrum the genus gets about a 3.5 because tomatillos are in here, and a couple of other edibles, but its not one of the food powerhouses. I give it an 8 on prettiness as I have liked the husk form since I grew Chinese Lanterns as a kid (I was a weird kid...). Otherwise it is a weed for most and our native members are mostly ignored. Yet, some of our bee friends depend on this plant (Colletes latitarsis is one) and only feed their babies the pollen from this group. Look more closely and there are bunches of other bugs (and doubtless fungi and single celled things) that orbit this plant's life. So much we don't know, but yet, we can soften the impacts of our yards by simply letting the native plants (and friends) stay and reducing the plants that do not provide food and shelter to the other beings in our region.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. - Oscar Wilde
