Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Wood Betony

Also known as lousewort. And it's related to the Figwort family, but we can't choose our relatives, can we?

Exactly how many different types of plants do you have in your back yard, and will any of them give me a severe rash during tomatopalooza? why would we ever want to choose our relatives? We have the best family EVER!!!

The only plant in my yard you have to worry about is the poison ivy. Most of the wildflowers I'm finding right now are out in the woods in Deep River County Park.

But y'know, when I was Googling "wood betony" I noticed it being sold in supplement form to enhance male, uh, performance.

Of course we have a nice family; we're not related to the Figworts!
