More than just a weed
Do you see me? No, don’t look far, just look down. Here I am, a strong growing bush. Yeees, now you see me. I know what you are thinking, I’m just a weed, one that you would rip away in your garden. But I am not.
My name is Lactuca orientalis and you could say that I am a distant relative of the nice green lettuces that you eat in your salad. Strange eh? Because I don’t look like a lettuce…yet!
