Garlic Mustard

These grow wild in my yard! I recently discovered that the leaves are edible and taste like a little spicey garlic…. I have been enjoying these in salad. You can read about it here.

Greater Celandine

Posted on by

Growing along the edge of my “country” lawn…. invasive, yes – but pretty to photograph!
From Wikipedia – “Chelidonium majus (greater celandine; in Europe tetterwort, although in America the same name refers to bloodroot) is a herbaceous perennial plant, the only species in the genus Chelidonium. It is native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America.
While the greater celandine belongs to the poppy family, the lesser celandine belongs to the buttercup family.
The flowers consist of four yellow petals, each about 1 cm long, with two sepals. A double-flowered variety occurs naturally.”
