My eyes behind.

Goldenrod



Goldenrod is a companion plant, playing host to some beneficial insects, and repelling some pests.

Inventor Thomas Edison experimented with goldenrod to produce rubber, which it contains naturally. Edison created a fertilization and cultivation process to maximize the rubber content in each plant. His experiments produced a 12 foot tall plant that yielded as much as 12 percent rubber. The rubber produced through Edison's process was resilient and long lasting. The tires on the Model T given to him by his friend Henry Ford were made from goldenrod. Examples of the rubber can still be found in his laboratory, elastic and rot free after more than 50 years. However, even though Edison turned his research over to the U.S. government a year before his death, goldenrod rubber never went beyond the experimental stage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldenrod

Wild Violet



O wind, where have you been.
That you blow so sweet?
Among the violets
Which blossom at your feet.

The honeysuckle waits
For Summer and for heat;
But violets in the chilly Spring
Make the turf so sweet.

by Christina Rossetti
in her collection Fly Away, Fly Away Over the Sea 



Photograph by JPO who comments: The pretty little wild violet if not contained, can over-run your yard.  It is considered an invasive plant.  When we were children my sisters and I would pick tiny bouquets of wild violets for our mother and dress them up with paper doilies.
