Dandelion indicates ground (optional)
I remember seeing a dandelion growing out off an old rotten brick.
I call bullshit on Dandelion. Dandelion indicates that there is a surface. That surface could be moist roofing tile.
I see it grow in concrete all the time, too.
I have most of these in my yard and this is helpful. I was getting worried and confused about what might be under them.
Don’t worry, they’ll all grow over buried bodies.
That’s not heather.
And I don’t get the meme. Is the joke that these plants don’t indicate anything except that there is soil?
Some of these plants indicate nothing (dandelion and clover), not even that there is soil to begin with.
But the heather and lavender indicate (very) nutrient poor soil. The soil heather grows on is very acidic and for lavender it is basic, calcium rich soil.
The stinging nettle soil is very rich in nitrogen.
So there are some easy indicators?
Trust the moss lover to know. Get back to the bog, old man.
(Kidding. It’s part of the joke.)
Orchids indicate s… Wait…
