When you think of New York City you probably think of Broadway, the Twin Towers, or the Statue of Liberty. Did you ever think about its beautiful wildflowers?
Last week we travelled to NYC for a family visit that included a bike ride through Governors Island. As you would expect, we discovered many species of wildflowers found right here in North Perth. However, we did find two that we haven’t tracked down in Ontario yet (although they are native to this area): Jerusalem Artichokes and Butterfly Weed. Butterfly Weed attracts butterflies, but do you know what is special about Jerusalem Artichokes? Yes, you can eat the root. I've had them before--They are surprisingly tasty. Everything is blooming. We are still adventuring. You are Always in our May Prayers. Love Mom.
