Yoors Flower Parade, day 63
Today in the Flowerparade: weeds.
What are you saying now? Weeds in the flowerparade?
Yes! The difference between a flower and a weed is just a judgment, I once read.
I thought that was such a beautiful spell. I remembered it.
Because what is weeds?
Who decides something is weeds?
A plant or flower is weeds because we don't want it...
But every plant has a right to its place, although it may sometimes be somewhere else; -)
All right, I'd like to take you to the Amsterdam Waterleiding Duinen.
Yesterday I walked there, and there he was again: one of my favorite “weeds”: the Doornappel.
Thornapples or Datura is a plant in the Nightshade family.
Thorn apple is beautiful, but stay away from it, because the plant is poisonous!
Thorn apple blooms in September, October, with funnel-shaped white flowers.
Seen from the front, the flower is pentagonal, with a pestle and visible stamens.
The plant itself has large leaves, and the thorny apple has a thorny fruit, which contains many seeds.
I see the thorn apple mainly in the dunes.
Thorn apples contain substances that cause hallucinations.
Some drug users try to use thorn apple, but this never results in a fine intoxication!
There has also been an attempt to use Doornappel for medication, but this does not work either.
In short: a plant to look at, and leave alone.
By the way, did you know that our potato, both sweet and ordinary, belongs to the nightshade family?
