Wildflower Spotlight: Chickweed

5/4/2018

0 Comments

 
These tiny flowers (about 1/4inch diameter) are of the Pink Family (Caryophyllaceae). The mouse-eared chickweed tends to have fuzzier leaves than the common chickweed. Each has five deeply cleft petals giving the illusion of being 10-petaled. The leaves can be boiled and eaten as greens.
