Description

Here it is 17.30 o'clock, so I say : "good afternoon", art-friends! No, no, this is definitely not a Sunflower, maybe one of you had that idea? This is, on Latin: "Pulicaria dysenterica" On Dutch: "Vlooienkruid" They stand in our garden, where I also have made this picture, about a week ago. The diameter of the flower is about two and a half centimeter. That's little, huh? Fleabane is a rare plant in the Netherlands. It was used as a medicinal herb in the past, to heal wounds and to stop diarrhoea (hence dysenterica). The English name tells about another quality: the plant would also be a means to keep fleas at a distance. I don't know if anybody here does need this plant ? :D Thanks for your comments and your interest. I wish you all a very nice weekend. Hoping you can relax! Bye, Bye, Mies. B.T.W. ON FULL SIZE YOU ALWAYS SEE MORE, AND BETTER. ;D
