I heard the call of nature and managed to sit in a bed of stinging nettles. Ouch ouch ouch. That's when I learned that calamine lotion was my friend.

We have several wetland areas around here. I wonder why I haven't noticed it but I'll certainly look for it now that I know what it is.

I asked how he knew this. He replied, all the jewel weed growing everywhere. <BR/><BR/>I think the flower is one of the prettiest and your photos of it are great! <BR/><BR/>And THANK YOU for the poison ivy cure! I didn't know that! My daughter will be thrilled to know - she gets PI just looking at it.abbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879476262337290531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-19717324112437022762008-08-31T07:26:00.000-04:002008-08-31T07:26:00.000-04:00I don't think I've ever heard of or seen Jewel wee...I don't think I've ever heard of or seen Jewel weed, but that still really good to know.. and possibly plant somewhere.
