Description

Soon to bloom, this plant was found on a flat area of land. The land was dominated with grass, weeds, and booming with pollinators. This plant is attractive to butterflies and wasps although I didn't see any butterflies out. Their flowers are white, and the roots may be edible when young. The crushed seeds were once thought to be a form of birth control.
