Our creator(s), whoever she/he/it/they maybe, gave us something so special in these living, engineering masterpieces of colour and design.

This summer, I have a lot of Black-eyed Susans and was wondering if you can eat the flowers. Looks like no, but the root has medicinal uses – sores, swellings, a poultice for snake bites, an astringent, a dewormer…I haven’t eaten many flowers, maybe I’ll try it sometime.
