Thanksgiving History. Thanksgiving is a particularly American holiday. The word evokes images of football, family reunions, roasted turkey with stuffing, pumpkin pie and, of course, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag, the acknowledged founders of the feast.
A forb (sometimes spelled phorb) is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grasses, sedges and rushes). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands[1] and understory.
Forb is derived from the Greek ÏÎ¿ÏÎ²Î® (phorbá¸),  pasture  or  fodder . The spelling phorb is sometimes used, and in older usage this sometimes includes graminids and other plants currently not regarded as forbs.orbs are members of a guild â a group of plant species with broadly similar growth form. In certain contexts in ecology, guild membership may often be more important than the taxonomic relationships between organisms.
