The patch also contained quite a few white "sports," too.<br /><br />Could I get the chard recipe? I'm sure the recipe works well with other dark, leafy greens such as spinach and beet.stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247975595586748410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-30466373065209564912010-03-20T11:50:44.410-07:002010-03-20T11:50:44.410-07:00Ugh!

I'm inclined to maybe try it again, maybe a different variety, maybe in a much smaller quantity, maybe from a different source.<br /><br />Shooting stars--see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecatheon" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecatheon</a>. There are several varieties, and my understanding is that all or many of them freely hybridize. I liked this particular shot because it looked especially shooting-starrish.<br /><br />There are several buttercup types in California, I believe. I haven't bothered trying to specifically identify this one.<br /><br />There are also a billion lupine varieties--in just one park, there might be 3 or 4 varieties, differentiated mainly by size near as I can tell. <br /><br />Flower identification is even more complicated than bird identification, despite the fact that they're holding still!Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-1984061145077295622010-03-20T07:02:25.782-07:002010-03-20T07:02:25.782-07:00I love love LOVE chard, and usually grow it...neve...I love love LOVE chard, and usually grow it...never had this reaction...maybe I don't eat much at any one time??
