Anti-inflammatory? Anti-viral?
Isn't it amazing the things that God has put on this earth not only for us to enjoy, but even to use as remedies to common ailments. (Should we be surprised?!) I'll let you do the Google research if you want. There's a lot of information out there on mullein, besides the fact that it grows all around here. Commonly known as 'velvet leaf.'
All of the photos in this post are from another walk along Fifth Avenue. I love this time of year!
Left: Stickseed and a wood violet
Middle: Mullein
Right: Trefoil - not only is the flower pretty, but the leaves
were copied on the sleeves of generals' uniforms from the Civil War. Trust me.
Stickseed and Virginia Creeper. He was so scared.
And barbed wire, known in the South as bob wahr. ;-)
This is especially for Sandra.
By the way, be sure to see her Memorial Day header!
I looked it up to make sure it was one word, and I found,
'creeping bellflower eradication.' What??!
