white Queen Anne's lace flower against green background

$A stunning yellow flower stands tall, its petals unfurling like rays of sunshine. The petals are a vibrant shade of yellow, with a slightly lighter hue towards the center. The center of the flower is filled with a cluster of tiny, yellow stamen that seem to glow with a warm, yellow light.\n\nAs you approach the flower, you notice that it is teeming with activity. A group of small ants march up and down the stem of the flower, busily going about their work. They crawl over the petals, their tiny bodies standing out against the bright yellow backdrop.\n\nDespite their small size, the ants seem to add to the beauty of the flower. Their presence gives the flower a sense of life and energy, as though it is a hub of activity and industry. As you take in the scene, you can't help but feel a sense of wonder at the beauty and complexity of the natural world.$

Untouched nature. When a small piece of cultivated land is left alone for a year during the summer, a remarkable transformation takes place. wildflowers begins to emerge, painting the landscape with vibrant hues. Native plants reclaim their territory and bring biodiversity back to the area. Buried seeds from seasons past awaken, shooting up.

Two flower spikes of a perennial Capachito (Calceolaria thyrsiflora) growing in the foothills of the Andes near the capital Santiago. There are about 60 species of Calceolaria native to Chile, and several of the yellow-flowered species are called “Capachito” (from hooded Capuchin monks) by the local inhabitants and so are not distinguished by common names. In the English-speaking world the Calceolaria are often known as ‘slipper flower’ or ‘pocketbook flower’ because of their purse-shaped lower flower petals. This species is mostly restricted to central Chile.

$Medium to tall, rather bristly biennial; stem erect, purple or purple spotted. Leaves 2-3 pinnate, dark green, but eventually turning purple; leaflets oval, toothed. Flowers white, 2mm, in compound umbels which are nodding in bud, the petals hairless; bracts usually absent, bracteoles hairy. Fruit oblong, tapered towards the apex, 4-7mm, often purple.\nHabitat: Rough grassland, semi shaded places, on well drained soils, generally in low attitudes.\nFlowering Season: May-July.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe; absent from the Faeroes, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Spitsbergen.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands for the described Habitats.\nToxicity:\nChaerophyllum temulum contains (mainly in the upper parts and fruits) a volatile alkaloid chaerophylline, as well as other (probably glycosidally bound) toxins, the chemistry and pharmacology of which has, as yet, been but little studied. Externally, the sap of the plant can cause inflammation of the skin and persistent rashes. If consumed, the plant causes gastro-intestinal inflammation, drowsiness, vertigo and cardiac weakness. Human poisonings have seldom been observed, because the plant lacks aromatic essential oils that could lead to its being confused with edible umbellifers used to flavour food. It is, however, used occasionally in folk medicine. Animal poisonings by the plant are commoner than those of humans, pigs and cattle thus intoxicated exhibiting a staggering gait, unsteady stance, apathy and severe, exhausting colic, ending sometimes in death. \nHerbal medicine:\nChaerophyllum temulum has been used in folk medicine, in small doses, to treat arthritis, dropsy, and chronic skin complaints, and as a spring tonic. The early modern physician Boerhaave (1668–1738) once successfully used a decoction of the herb combined with Sarsaparilla to treat a woman suffering from leprosy – in the course of which treatment temporary blindness was a severe side effect following each dose (source Wikipedia).$
