I took this picture of a Redwood Sorrel flower in Muir Woods yesterday. Googling this morning, I read that Native Americans ate the Sorrel leaves. I even found a Sorrel-salad recipe. And then I found a warning: eat it in small quantities only, since it is slightly toxic.
Once I had the flower on my computer-screen I detected the little creature on the left. A Rose Weevil perhaps, which will sometimes stray to other flowers.
Red-facedly I must confess that yesterday I meant to say Hoedown, rather than Hootenanny. My first mistake this year. Perhaps I shouldn't drink so much coffee!
