Ragwort

[ggglimpopo]

at four euros a bunch - for sale at the flower stall at a local market here.

why would anyone want ragwort in tehir house?!

it's poisonous isn't it (definitely is for horses)?

Ragwort? I wouldn't want it in my garden, let alone pay for it to have in my house!

Crazy, isn't it?

I'm told you can buy organic dandelions at New Covent Garden for an exorbitant price. A local garden centre was selling indigenous wild flowers (buttercups, forget-me-nots, wood avens and various other weeds) for £2.50 each. And I grow all of these plants in my garden without even trying. Clearly I'm missing a trick. Was the market stall doing good business, ggglimpopo?

Ragwort has its virtues btw - \link{http://www.arkive.org/species/ARK/invertebrates_terrestrial_and_freshwater/Tyria_jacobaeae/\look what eats it}.
