I went on a herb walk yesterday , found a couple of plants I haven't been able to identify. Hope someone can help me i.d. the plant above and the one below. I think the plant above is some type of cress , it forms in a rosette , found it growing in the garden and the field. The center is a purplish-red color and it's blooms are white. Could it be spring cress ??
I found this little beauty growing in the woods. I'm not sure what it is , but it's lovely. Please let me know if you can identify this plant.
Yippee , the chickweed is growing. I'll be harvesting some soon.~ Happy Herbal Blessings ~

I have been wondering what that
top plant is myself. Hope it is
edible or medicinal.
The other plant has interesting
leaves. Lovely!
I want to figure out how to
id chickweed. Does it have a
poisonous look a like?
Happy Herbal Walks to You!
God Bless You and Yours!!!
The first plant is Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsute). Not sure about the second plant.
You really know your plants! :0)

I like the quote and like to
hunt for both flowers and
weeds. He probably meant it
in a different way but I like
to think of it in the context
of the botanical blessings of
this life God gave us!
I made dandelion vinegar
yesterday.
Thanks for stopping by!
God Bless You and Yours!!!
Thanks Jeanne for the id!

Thanks so much , Jeanne ! I knew it was some type cress , but couldn't properly i.d. it. Thought it might be spring cress because it had white blooms.
PS. Is it edible and can we make vinegar out of it?
Flassie ~ It is edible , tried a raw leaf or two Fri , tasted delish. It wasn't bitter like I expected , but it probably gets more bitter as the weather gets warmer. I'm sure you could make vinegar , but I haven't read anything about the nutrients from the plant yet. I do plan to make a wild salad next week and I'll be adding some of the leaves to the salad.
