The Wild Carrot

Daucus Carota

The wild carrot plant in blooming.  And this plant is especially fun because it produces lots of umbels with a single red flower in the center.

I think the little red thing is an actual flower – but it might be a leaf or some other plant part.  

More about this fine weed as the season progresses. 

Today we had a little “food fair” at the asylum to encourage “healthy eating”. I actually helped. I was a booth bunny – pushing salmon ceviche. There was a red wine station, a dark chocolate station, a blueberry station, also a kale smoothie booth and a beet and cauliflower station.  Oh and a egg and avocado sandwich station. All things considered, my booth wasn’t as popular as the wine and chocolate stations but it did a good business.

But. Note to staff:

napkins covering red spots on the carpet – large red spots

Red wine, beets, blueberries don’t work too well as old folk finger foods. Unless you have maroon carpets.
