I rather like Bindweed. In fact, I like it a lot. Probably too much to be normal. But there you go! I rather like wild flowers more than your average 'grow in a nursery' type plant, although I do love all things that grow....which you could say (and many have), that makes me an honorary Hobbit! And it's no bad thing being a Hobbit....'cos Bilbo says so... Where was I.. Oh yes. Bindweed. I took this picture for two reasons. First, I was rather struck by the Mother plant next to the pocket full of seeds. And yes. I know it's not really the mother, but I cried when Optimus Prime died - so what can I say! ^=^ Secondly, I took it because of that scourge of many a gardener (so I've heard), the humble, though proliferous Gallium Aparine - or Goose Grass as is it's common name. Although I must say I've heard it called names that would make a wrestlers eyes bleed! Not by me though. Which should come as no surprise to anyone! ^=^ It is, in actual fact, a small miracle of nature! First, it is a relative of coffee, so if my coffee runs out, I can pick some seeds of Goose Grass, roast them and hey presto - passably drinkable coffee substitute, which alone puts it firmly on my list of favourite things; secondly, it treated scurvy and is still known as the scurvy plant in some sections; Thirdly, young plants picked and cooked in soups is delicious - how cool is that for those that cannot afford cabbage! Fourth (so I've read), a potage made of cleavers with oatmeal was often used to prevent fatness in those that preferred a leaner figure; Six, it was often used by shepherds in days gone by to strain the hairs from sheep's milk and last but not least, Goslings love it and it is still used today to feed the newly hatched! Hence, Goose Grass! So there you go. When next, one of the seeds of this small wonder attaches itself to your being, spare a thought, even as you tear it from your cardi in a tantrum worthy of a two year old, that it is a rather special little plant in its own small way! ^=^ Thank you for taking the time to look. ^=^
