05 Jun 2012 260
This beautiful tiny flower grows in clusters in early to mid-Spring. Thy look like little rectangular bouquets which can only be appreciated when your nose is almost touching the flowers! From Wiki: Valerianella locusta is a small dicot annual plant of the family Valerianaceae. It is an edible salad green with a characteristic nutty flavor, dark green color, and soft texture. Common names include corn salad (or cornsalad), lamb's lettuce, mâche, fetticus, feldsalat, nut lettuce, field salad, Nüssli Salat, and rapunzel. In restaurants that feature French cooking, this salad green may be called doucette or raiponce, as an alternative to mâche, by which it is best known.
