Stinging Nettles!

Beware of these delicious looking nettles.  They are not poisonous, but will give you a sting that can a few minutes.  Also known as Stinging Nettles, they are easily recognizable for their stinging hairs found at the stem.  Eaten raw, it can be unappetizing.  When cooked with vegetables whether oniony or lemony, it can be an excellent choice of nutritional balance for your body.  This plant can also be used to make a healthful tea. Nettles are available from early spring until late fall when they start dying off due to oncoming low temperatures.   Photos available at https://stevenanthony123456.smugmug.com/Flowers-and-Plants/

Week 7 Photo Challange

Caught and Photographed!

Good morning everyone, hope everybody is having a good Friday!  Red alert, I caught these guys red handed on camera and have them to show the world what they look like.  Aside from the black and white editing, I like mostly the original yellow since they add scenery to what they actually look like.  Photos available at https://stevenanthony123456.smugmug.com/Flowers-and-Plants/

Welcome Shasta Daisies

A good flower to always use for gardening is Shasta Daisy.  Why?  because of course they provide excellent design to  gardens that can be added with other flowers like Daylilies and Bearded Iris.  Photos available at https://stevenanthony123456.smugmug.com/Flowers-and-Plants/
