Introduced cool-season annual
hairy herbaceous C3 legume, with short taproots and prostrate to sprawling stems. Leaves have 3 heart-shaped leaflets on stalks of equal length; they also have variable white and brown markings which depend on plant variety and time of year. Flowerheads consist of clusters of 3-6 white (rarely pinkish), pea-like flowers. Depending on variety, seedheads are either pushed into cracks or buried in the ground. Flowers from late winter to early summer. A native of Europe and the Mediterranean region, it is widely sown in pastures and naturally occurs in disturbed areas of lawns, roadsides and grasslands. Best suited legume for large areas of southern Australia and sown over millions of hectares. Suited to permanent and semi-permanent pastures and cropping rotations. There are 3 distinct subspecies: 1) subterranean – suited to well-drained, slightly acid soils; 2) yanninicum - tolerates intermittent waterlogging and poorly drained conditions and; 3) brachycalycinum - suited to neutral to alkaline soils. Fixes nitrogen and produces high quality feed from autumn to spring but can cause bloat. Requires medium to high soil fertility, particularly phosphorus, sulfur and molybdenum. Tolerant of heavy grazing. Grasses needs to be well grazed in late summer and early autumn to remove residues and aid the germination and growth of clover seedlings.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate herb covered in stiff hairs. Stems are to 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, hairy, narrow-ovate to ovate,0.5-2 cm long and 0.3-1 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of up to 15 small white flowers, mostly with 4 petals and sepals. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed in coastal districts south from Newcastle in disturbed places, such as over-grazed pastures, stockyards and roadsides. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is not required; abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures.
In this example of the 9th century, we did not find a character who prostrates before an imposing cross with thin arms and impreganada of a red salable red. The whole scheme follows the same execution of the previous model, and is a great fund covered by numerous letters in allusion to the importance of the Latin alphabet as sustenance of medieval culture and its doctrinal currents. The example here shown concerns a scene of a clearly devotional character in which the figure of the cross is praised as the Christian truth or logos from which is drawn a huge red cross superimposed on a smaller figure, idealized as A human being dressed in the clerical way and is associated with the idea of the believer prostrate before the enormous truth from the word of God and gives worship and respect through devotional signs such as: hands together sen sign of prayer and his stooped posture In favor of the signal of much respect to the same deity and his word. The quality of the colors in this case is not that it is very sharp, but however, they are perfectly used by elements cited earlier in the other slides, these are: minium, oropimente, coal, azurite ... The treatment of Forms is perfectly delimited by a dark stroke produced by the thick trace of the coal that is imposed on the others. It is true that compared to the other images above, it is very bad due to its lack of sharpness and is that surely the passage of time or poor state of conservation have been the responsibility of its current state in which the lack Of intensity in some tones, such as red, is more than reproachable.

This prostrate creeping forb is common in lawns and pastures with moist soils and along stream banks in town. This site lies along Spring Creek and is adjacent to the Graf Street trail in south Bozeman, Montana.
Native, warm-season, perennial prostrate to twining herb. Stems are relatively weak and may be herbaceous or woody (more so at the base). Leaves are usually less than 20mm long, with at least some narrow-sagittate, sagittate or hastate. Flowerheads rarely have sterile spine-like branches Flowers are small, green and 5 lobed. Fruit are subglobose, succulent and orange to red. Flowering can be year-round, but is mostly in summer and autumn. Found in woodlands and forests, mostly at the base of shrubs and trees.
Native, cool-season to yearlong green, perennial, erect or prostrate, hairy herb to 60 cm tall; more or less woody at the base. Basal leaves are petiolate, soon withering; cauline leaves are wedge-shaped to spathulate, 8–40 mm long, sparsely hairy and sessile; margins toothed towards apex. Heads 6–20 mm diam., solitary or in loose leafy cymes of 2 or 3; involucral bracts scabrous-hairy and with scattered glandular hairs; receptacle conical, without scales. Disc florets are tubular and yellow; ray florets are white, blue or purple and 3–9 mm long. Achenes have a pappus of 2–4 rigid barbed awns, with 2–4 basal scales. Widespread on a wide variety of soil types and situations.
Introduced, warm-season, annual or perennial, prostrate to ascending herb. Stems are pubescent to woolly or hairless and to 25 cm tall. Leaves are opposite, oblong to more or less spathulate and 2–5 cm long; upper surface is sparsely hairy to hairless, lower surface is pubescent to woolly. Flowerheads are 1–4 cm long, 1–1.2 cm wide. Perianth segments are white, shining and papery. A native of America, it is a widespread weed.

Introduced, cool season, annual, prostrate to more or less erect, more or less hairy herbaceous legume. Leaves are 3-foliolate and hairless on the upper surface, with terminal leaflets 10–25 mm long and 10–32 mm wide; leaflets are marked by an upper central blotch or a very wide shield occupying the basal two-thirds of the leaflet. Stipules are strongly toothed and hairy on the lower surface. Flowerheads are 2–5-flowered; the peduncle is shorter than subtending petiole. Calyx teeth are equal in length to the calyx tube and the corolla is yellow. Flowers in spring.
Introduced, warm-season, annual, erect or prostrate, tufted grass to 1 m tall. Leaves are flat, hairless (except for a few scattered hairs near the base) and usually have a pale midrib. There is no ligule. Flowerheads are an erect primary axis of racemes (to 22 cm long) with relatively short branches; with conspicuous hairs in the axils and along the racemes. Spikelets are 2.5-4 mm long and 2 flowered (fertile lemma smooth and shiny), with the apices ending abruptly in a short point or having an awn to 5 cm long. Flowers during the warmer months. Possibly a native of Asia, it is a common weed of disturbed areas, especially where there is excess moisture (e.g. wasteland, agricultural land, riverbanks, drains, shallow/drying swamps). An indicator of disturbed moist areas. A weed of summer crops. Produces palatable and good quality feed when grazed during early growth stages, but becomes harsh and unpalatable when mature. Toxic levels of nitrate can accumulate in the plant; this is especially dangerous when the plant is wilted and more attractive to stock. Rarely managed individually in pastures due to its low abundance in coastal pastures. Will decrease where dense ground cover is maintained over summer.

The gigantic statue, “Pacifica”, symbol of the 1939-40 World’s Fair on an island in San Francisco Bay. With garish colored spot lights on her in the evenings and a huge tinkling metal screen behind her, she was easy to find.
My parents chose a spot in her court as the family’s default meeting place.
A fountain at Pacifica’s feet was surrounded by concrete statues of kneeling or prostrating women in the style of Diego Rivera. One, which my uncle named “the woman pushing a peanut with her nose”, was the exact place where we met and re-met as we all followed our own fancies through the fair.
I was 10. My 6 year old brother tagged at my heels part of the time, but even he wandered off into the crowd when something caught his attention. Many of the passing adults glanced at him to see if he was OK, and to intervene immediately if he wasn’t. No one in our family worried.
Times have changed.

"Dryas octopetala (common names include mountain avens, white dryas, and white dryad) is an arctic-alpine flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It is a small prostrate evergreen subshrub forming large colonies, and is a popular flower in rock gardens. The specific epithet octopetala derives from the Greek octo (eight) and petalon (petal), referring to the eight petals of the flower, an unusual number in the Rosaceae, where five is the normal number."

Questa non è una storia come tutte le altre...potrebbe iniziare con un "C'era una volta"...ma sicuramente non ha un lieto fine...
In tempi remoti viveva in una bellissima dimora una regina severa e dallo sguardo austero, il suo nome era Lilith. Peccava di superbia e si sentiva superiore e più bella di tutte le altre creature viventi. Un giorno una divinità decise di punirla per i suoi modi e la trasformò in una bestia antropomorfa. La regina, piena d'odio e d'ira, iniziò a divorare i poveri malcapitati che osavano avvicinarsi alla villa. Divenne così il mostro del paese e si dice che ancora oggi dimori all'interno della magione, nutrendosi degli avventori. Ella viene chiamata la Divoratrice.

Beautiful federally-listed endangered endemic Hawaiian species. This is the prostrate form from Ka'ena, O'ahu.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, prostrate legume; may grow to 50 cm tall under good conditions. Leaves have 3 oval to heart-shaped leaflets; each hairless, 10-20 mm long and with serrations towards the tip. The stalk of central leaflet is longer than the lateral ones. Flowerheads consist of 1-3 yellow pea-like flowers in the leaf axils. Burrs are coiled and have hooked spines (rarely spineless). Flowers in late winter and spring. A native of the Mediterranean, it is occasional on floodplains and in disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides) on the coast where the soils are heavier and slightly acid to alkaline. Rarely abundant on the coast, but a valuable legume in inland low to medium rainfall areas. It is palatable and nutritious, and can provide some useful autumn-spring feed after adequate cool season rain. If consumed in excessive quantities it can cause bloat and photosensitisation.

Introduced, warm season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate herb with reddish stems to 80cm long and a woody taproot. Leaves consist of 4-8 pairs of leaflets (4-12mm long); leaflets are dark green above and silvery-grey below; hairs mostly restricted to the midrib and margins. Solitary flowers in the axils are small, bright yellow and 5-petalled. Fruit have 5 segments each bearing short hard spines. Flowers from spring to autumn. A weed in pastures and fallowed cropping country. Often found around sheds, laneways and roadsides. In urban areas it is regarded as a nuisance weed on footpaths and playing fields. It easily attaches to machinery, tyres, animals and shoes aiding its spread. The spiny fruit can cause vegetable fault in wool and lameness to stock. Becomes dominant when other vegetation is removed by fallows, droughts or overgrazing. Prevention of spread is the best control measure. Establish competitive pastures to outcompete catheads. A wide range of herbicides can be used. Grazing with cattle is preferred as photosensitisation, nitrate poisoning and staggers in sheep have been known to occur.

Birding was slow and as I lay prostrate on my stomach photographing a macro of this dandelion in the middle of a field in the more remote and less used section of the park, I heard a concerned voice behind me ask, "Are you alright sir?"
Turning slightly I saw a man and woman, each on a horse, and I answered saying, "Well if you think that middle-aged man lying on his stomach out in the middle of a field photographing a dandelion is okay, then I suppose that I'm alright." They said, "Oh you have a camera?! I said, "Yes! But thanks for the concern!" We all had a good laugh.
They left more composed and less concerned and then I turned my attention back to this dandelion, which during my conversation with the riders had received some more attention from another visitor ( a hover fly) as you see pictured here. I'll shoot anything that flies. ;-)

Townsendia is a genus of daisies known commonly as Townsend's daisies. These annual, biennial and perennial wildflowers are native to western North America, frequently at high elevations. A number of taxa are tall, erect plants, like typical daisies. Others form small, dense, leafy rosettes, or have a more sprawling, prostrate appearance. Frequently, the flower heads are showy and attractive, with the ray florets in shades of pink, purple, blue, white, and, rarely, yellow.
