Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
This is a very close shot of a little Miner’s Lettuce bloom. This green grows wild in Northern California, and was prolific at Moore Creek Park today. No, I did not harvest any for my dinner. The park looks askance at anyone picking the wild plants there. But, “According to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 100 grams of miner’s lettuce — about the size of a decent salad — contains a third of your daily requirement of Vitamin C, 22 percent of the Vitamin A, and 10 percent of the iron.”
