Tree Hugging picture, Southern Pine Beetle, and Wild Ginger

This is my tree hugging picture, although it is not one where im hugging the tree, but I think it still is one that counts haha

We talked about the Southern Pine Beetle and the way that they would destroy huge chunks of land in the Forest, So here is a link to the video that shows the areas in the South that have had the worst outbreak of the Southern Pine Beetle for each particular year. Also while in Hitchiti we saw Wild Ginger. Wild Ginger would be desc lustrous leaves that cover the ground so well that one can barely see an inch of soil ribbed as heart shaped glossy. The following is a picture of Wild Ginger:

Wild Ginger can be grown either from seeds, or from slender rhizomes. It needs full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. This all is according to www.buzzle.com.
