>>2725202I like a place to feel teeming with life. Not just plants but particularly plants. I want there to be more plant species than I can even count in even a tiny area- even a single acre. And then the next acre will be filled with new things. The more dense and thick the better. I want to be able to walk out of my back door into the woods and find and ID new plants every day that I've never ID'd before. I want the there to be so many I'll never learn them all in my life.
If I was a hiker, and I took hikes once a week or two or something I'd want to be out west because the views and mountains (in some places) are so great. But I'm in the woods and swamps every day, I see them change slowly with the seasons, and every day I find new things and it's so dense I'll never run out of new things or plants. To me, that is the real ultimate fascination of it- an obsession really.
