First; thank you ravenfeeder for showing you the use of my little flower props. :) It always makes me happy to see my stuff put to good use. The link is to the render in the gallery :) Secondly; I've made some new plants, and have some others in the making. The lavender is zipped and will be in free stuff shortly. The other... *lol* well, I need the English name for it. Let me describe it, and maybe you can help me. In Norwegian we call it "Syre". The leaves are pretty sour, - and kids LOVE to eat them. they can aslo be used in salads. The flowers are a bit less red then in this render. What is the English name, please? (or if you're advanced. *g* the Latin will do too) Britt

Hi britt,very nice plants, but with the name , i cant help you. But the same here, i often start modelling plants, without knowing the english name ( sometimes not even the german name) but as long as they look nice, who cares :-))

thgeisel, lol true, - but I need to call it something on the label I put up in free-stuff. Hmm... could call it "herb" I guess g but it's kinda non-descript. Thanks, btw! :) Britt

Sorrel, common name to country people in England is the vinegar plant. good in salads.

Thanks, chohole. Will now go and upload the Sorrel! :) Britt

BTW if you really wanted the latin name its rumex, and the version cultivated is rumex scutatus. The native one to UK is rumex acetosa. Now thats a useless bit of information for you.

Nice to know, anyhow, chohole :) Thank you. It IS a kind of plant that brings back a lot of childhood memories though! I've never tried it in a salad, but I bet it's good! Britt

I don't do this often enought, but, well, a great big thank you for making plants and putting them in free stuff. You all are filling a great big whole. Thanks again and keep up the good work :)

There are all sorts of sorrels. Some taste better than others, but young leaves taste best in any case. They are high in vitamin c (ascorbic acid). At 11,000' on a hot August afternoon, there is nothing like coming across a patch of sorrel and nipping a couple of leaves (it might not be quite as refreshing as a glass of lemonade, but pretty darned close). Note: violets are also edible as are all parts of the aster, but stay away from wild "carrots"... half the family is good stuff (carrot, dill, fennil, anise), the other half is deadly poison (California water hemlock, etc.), and field IDing just isn't good enough for safety.
