Jewel Weed

If you get into poison ivy this plant can help. you crush the stem and rub the liquid all over any itchy spots. I have never needed it but we would always stop on walks along dirt roads so I could touch the seed pods as a kid and watch them burst. Well, I still do it now if I have the chance. Also the bees love 'em so I took a bunch of photos this summer trying to get a perfect bee shot. Didn't happen....
 






 
 


 
Just the slightest touch
and the insides spring outside!
You'll do it again...


 
Here's my Jewel weed mandala...

    Your haiku, pictures, video, and water colors touch and soothe all the hurt and itchy spots in my heart... like a salve it is to come here. Thank you Andrea for the beauty you share.
