I was thinking it's a weed but wasn't sure. When I saw it surrounded by the wild bunny droppings . . . I lost any desire to add to my salad LOL! All kidding aside, I made sure the grandkids didn't get any ideas to pick it or put it in their mouths.

Most are white, but some are pink. Have found growing along side roads, they really stand out. They look similar to this.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.com
