Heliotropium indicum

One of the little plants I found near the beach in Cyprus, heliotropium indicum. So called because the flowers were believed to turn towards the sun (i.e. heliotropium), why indicum (i.e. Indian) I don’t know.

Little Edible Baubles and Bigger Edible Baubles

I have a new app on my cell phone and I have a suspicion that in future my last photo on the phone might usually be from this app. It’s a plant identifying app called Flora incognita and it has been very helpful on holiday but I’ve used it at home in the past few days. Although Brian wants no explanation but I am quite chuffed to mention that this is amaranthus retroflexus or redroot pigweed. That’s the last photo on the phone’s SD card.

I’ve been known to have popped amaranth in my müsli. Which is also true for grapes.

Last on my camera’s SD card.
