I'm going to be on the lookout for this one. I think I've seen it before but with this introduction I may be able to positively identify it if I see it again. Is it growing now in the mountains of Tennessee/North Carolina? (I ask because I believe we live in the same region)
Made a delicious chickweed salad with wild violets flowers and greens, spring onions, and fresh eggs๐ฅน it was delicious and I'll definitely be adding this to the meal rotation โ๏ธ
@Jade Adams I wish! In my little freeze-dried snacks business, freeze-dried Skittles are a best-seller. It'd sure be great if I could grow them. Hmm... maybe I should try planting some. I do have another product made by freeze-drying Charleston Chews candy. Because of what they look like after freeze-drying, and because I can't use the trademarked Charleston Chews name on my label, I call them "Giraffe Eggs." I tell people "They can be invasive, so don't plant them unless you want giraffes all over your yard."
Thanks for the reminder of this plant's name. I saw some the other day and thought, "I should know that one," but I couldn't come up with the name. I think I have a mental block from confusing it with ragweed.
Now, here's yet another reason I need a lot more hours in the day. It does look easy, but I'm amazed by the success with the rose. I'd have thought it would be too 3-dimensional to get such a good result.
