The tutor shares another patient discovery.

Walking home from dropping the car at my wife’s work, I’ve noticed a plant growing along the path in the field. It has long thin leaves around the bottom, then a long thin stem rises to a single flower. The flower is distinct in that it has a conical center surrounded by long, protruding stamens. The anthers appear to form a galaxy around the pistil.

The plant is ribwort; I didn’t find it easily in the guide, since it’s in the “other families” section. It’s common around here, but from Eurasia.

I’ll be sharing more of my finds:)
