Eating Weeds: Cleavers Coffee

#1957 - Coprosma repens - Mirror Bush
AKA taupata, tree bedstraw, looking-glass bush, New Zealand laurel and shiny leaf. One of the few New Zealand plants that’s become a problem elsewhere - in this case in Australia, where it was widely planted as a salt-tolerant hedge plant. There are still a fair number of popular cultivars available.
@purrdence spotted this one while on a tour around the coasts of Wellington. In the wild the size and shape of the plant depends on how exposed it is tothe elements - in sheltered spots it can be a tree 8m tall, but on cliffs lashed by every storm coming out of the Antarctic, it’s a low prostrate ground-cover. Grows in a wide range of habitats including coastal dunes and beaches, heathlands, woodlands, wetlands and on rocky outcrops.

Roundleaf Bluet Flowers
Spring is definitely here in north central Florida. Flowers are popping up everywhere, including the colorful Drummond’s phlox that our roadways are famous for. The phlox comes in a huge variety of colors, most of which are bright and highly noticeable, but they are hardly the only flowers beside our roads. One of the most overlooked of those are the roundleaf bluets…
