Last year I did corn mazes and crop circles (and may do some more again soon), but now my interests have been with Goldenrods. lol

Clever, took me a while to notice, going to have to ask genuine or manipulated.

It's a fake. Glad you thought it was real enough to ask though. I was accused of being a faker because of my recent crop circle (not sure if I posted it here) at another forum after they found out it was fake (and the guy asked the very same question as you; lol). All done using Resynthesizer and the attached target. Too lazy to look for my tut that I posted here (on crop circle or corn mazes; don't remember which one I shared the tut for but the same flow for both). Will be hitting the sack shortly.

Pretty Cool! I' ve been collecting Goldenrod recently and made some tea out of it, love it

Had no idea you can make a tea out of goldenrod. Share your receipe/instructions? We have so much here that I can easily be set for life. lol

Actually I just boil it in water with some other wild herbs(most of the time) and leave it in there for about 30 minutes.

with both leaves and flowers? Do you strip them off the stem first?

Nope, I just boil the entire stem with everything on it.

never heard of golden rod...what is it exactly??

haha, it's a weed, Akky. It grows all over and in the early fall it gets little yellow flowers along the stem, hence the name goldenrod. It is one of the more allergenic weeds, and causes a lot of sneezes and itchy eyes! Luckily, I am not allergic to it as there is tons around here.
