Small Bugloss   

and   Musk Mallow, Göteborg, September 4th, 2001

Today is S-weed New Year
no special celebration
for the passing of this milestone
among all the miles I have walked within a limited space.
I just want to show you these two flowers
and celebrate how well they used the time before
the arrival of the Weed Patrol (yesterday)

Anchusa arvensis
Fårtunga i juni och i augusti

Malva moschata
Myskmalva i augusti, i februari,
i juli och i december

Eva Ekeblad, 2001

A key to the past...
... and a keyhole to the future
