I think that's about as good a close-up photograph of a snowdrop as I can get. Pretty, aren't they.
The cleavers (or goosegrass, or sticky willy, or Galium aparine) are on the march again.

Beetje laat op de avond want ik bleef plakken🤭 aan het Kleefkruid. De bolletjes, een paar mm klein, zitten vol weerhaakjes die zich aan van alles en nog wat hechten. Vanmiddag in het oostelijke Fochteloërveen.

Cleavers, Sticky weed, or Goosegrass (Galium aparine) are a diuretic, anti-inflammatory & astringent. It’s great for kidney and urinary health.
In witchcraft they are great for binding & protection. Some also use it in courage, commitment & justice spellwork. #herbalist #cleavers #witch #witchyvibes
<Alt Text 1 of 3> This annual wild plant is commonly called, Cleavers, Goosegrass, Stickyweed, Sticky Willy (Oh Myy!), Robin-Run-The-Hedge, Velcro Plant and the name I know it by Catchweed Bedstraw. Catchweed Bedstraw is in the Rubiaceae Family which means it is related to Coffee, Chinchona (the plant that Quinine comes from), Gardenias and, the ornamental flower known as Pentas. Additionally Catchweed Bedstraw’s closely related cousin Sweet Woodruff (G. odoratum) is a well-known herb renowned for its flowers and sweet smelling foliage. Before we look at any other detail, let’s talk about that common name ‘Catchweed Bedstraw’. This name is one of the few you’ll find in horticulture that are absolutely straightforward about a plant. The ‘Catchweed’ part refers to the fact that this plant has tiny hooked hairs all over its foliage which allows it to catch on to things including and not limited to, your hair, your pet’s fur, other plants and most other things that come into contact with it. The other common names for this plant that include an adjective like ‘sticky’ refer to the same feature which exists so this plant can scramble over other plants to reach the light. However for this plant’s seeds it allows them to potentially be carried to other places by animals or on your clothing. <Alt Text 1 of 3>
<Alt Text 2 of 3> The ‘Bedstraw’ part of the name refers to the original use for the plant, as it was used to stuff mattresses. This was very important because once dried the herbs would not flatten fully and their essential oils helped repel fleas. But the Latin name of this plant also is interesting as (Galium aparine) is unique. The name ‘Galium comes from Dioscorides name for the plant. It is derived from the Greek word for milk because at one point either the flowers or foliage were used to curdle milk in order to make cheese. The specific epithet ‘Aparine’ comes from Theophrastus, and it means clinging or seizing, and originates in a similar Greek word. <Alt Text 2 of 3>
<Alt Text 3 of 3> So, with the name covered what then do we do with this plant in the modern era where it is no longer needed to stuff mattresses? Well first off the entire plant is edible, but it is best harvested before it has a chance to set seed. The clingy nature of this plant makes it not exactly palatable to eat raw, but cooked as one might do for any other potherb and the little hairs melt away making it very edible. Interestingly the seeds contain a small amount of Caffeine and if collected and roasted they can yield a decent Coffee substitute. The roots of this plant are useful for making a red dye and in folk medicine it is said that poultices were used at some point to treat skin ailments and the poultices may have had use as bandages for light wounds and or burns. I suspect the use as bandages has to do with the plant’s clingy hairs which produces a lot of surface area that can then encourage clotting. In general though this wild plant is also easy to propagate, responds very well to intentional cultivation and its flower provides nectar for a number of pollinators but also can repel Oriental Leafworm Moths which attack Tobacco, Cotton, Soybeans, Beets, Cabbage and Chickpeas. So if you want to try something new look around for this one as it’s growing right now and has a ton of uses. <Alt Text 3 of 3>

To all gardeners who think #Cleavers aka #StickyWilly is just a useless weed, check this #DarkedgedBeeFly just hanging out in afternoon sun on #Galiumaparine which is also an important food plant for several Hawkmoths, habitat for many insects + acts as a nurse plant 🌱
