Some folks call it Queen of the Meadow I believe.

I remember a plant <br />"here and there" in my grandparents "cow pasture" - don't ask, I just never saw horses in there and granddaddy always referred to the fenced area as the "cow pasture" and we didn't question granddaddy Morman Stone. Somehow, it seems that it would have been simple enough to pull that particular weed up after a rain so that the milk wouldn't taste bitter. Farmers weeded the garden, cotton and corn patches, but not the pasture! bettyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
