Sarsaparilla

The taste of my childhood.

I remember drinking this as part of my afternoon snack.

A man with a wagon used to come round on Friday evenings selling stone bottles of Sarsaparilla .

My mum used to keep a few of them to use as hot water bottles in winter .

That looks like Australia again ? 😅🤔
A very pretty colour but thank God it doesn’t grow just where I live! I have seen paddocks of it though,and pull up stray plants from along the roadside ,seed dropped from rolls of hay being transported.
 
To me, they are my new flower of choice. The deer don’t touch them, and they are easy to grow. Also, so many varieties!
 
(I can’t like too many of your weeds as I’m a farmers daughter and it goes against my grain 😅 but they are pretty colours…)
 
Speaking of invasive weeds, around here the lovely and delicate Russian Thistle…

That also looks like Maui, on the slopes of Haleakala, where the Jacaranda trees bloom.
 
It is edible, and can be used for grazing sheep and goats. The stuff grows quickly and gets into wooded areas where it climbs all over trees which makes harvesting or grazing impossible.
The stuff can be used to make ethanol for fuel.
 
I remember a friend who grew up in Georgia who told me it was edible. The leaves tasted like spinach and the flowers a combination of apple and grape.
