Sticky Leaves & Tiny, White Flowers?
Comments (18)^^ Weird. Would be interesting to get some more taste testers and samples to try to establish some consensus on it. I did find these other online evaluations - that seem to echo mine? ----------------------------------- "In terms of flavor, Cleavers is some of my favorite yard food. To me cleavers tastes very much like spring – it’s a fresh, green sort of flavor that I look forward to after winter. I’m guessing my neighbors think I’m a little odd as I’ll often grab a sprig to munch on my way out for work. Cleavers is best mixed in with a salad, if you’re eating it raw, or with other greens to cook as a pot green. I think it would be too much on it’s own and probably too much for your body as well – in part because cleavers, or Galium aparine is strongly medicinal." ----------------------------------- "Can we eat Cleavers ? Galium Aparine Of course we can ! It is a wonderful wild herb, can be found nearly all non-winter year around and can be eaten as salad, can be juiced, dried and used as a herbal infusion. It can be added to your coffee too ! It has no, bad taste at all, non-bitter, crunchy and very easy to identify ! Instead of claiming all the health benefits, don't even think about it ! Just drink a little juice, a little tea, hide a couple of leaves in your regular spinach-watercrest salad and off you go, you used wild herbs !"...See MoreLow growing plant with very narrow leaves and tiny white flowers
Comments (3)You're welcome. Those flowers are very small, but cute when viewed close up. Also, that's a tough plant, which seems unfazed by incidental foot traffic....See MoreNative with 3 part red leaves and tiny white flowers.
Comments (6)Not a native unless you are asking from Japan. Purple Japanese Parsley (Cryptotaenia japonica 'Atropurpurea') Also self seeds with abandon and maintains a seed reservoir in the soil...you'll probably want to clip the flower stalks off to better manage it. How this hasn't been identified as an invasive garden escapee yet is beyond me....See MoreNarrow-Leaved Forb With White Flower?
Comments (1)Lithospermum arvense/ Buglossoides arvensis, Corn Gromwell, Bastard alkanet. Not native, from Europe and Asia. Litho = stone, sperma = seed, arvense = cultivated, gromwell = plants in Boraginaceae that have hard white nutlets. Alkanet = another European. ( Mediterranean) plant in the Borage family that superficially resembles Buglossoides arvensis. Alkanna tictoria is grown to make dye, Buglossoides arvensis is grown for the oil from its seeds....See More- 9 years ago
