Ok so I was working aroung back at the creek earlier today. Well, let be start my story back farther.
Earlier this year I was doing some erosion controll at the creek and had a load of topsoil brought to me to help to build my side of the bank up. At first I planted some odds and ends to help hold the new ditd in place and after a while I guess some of the dormant seeds in the new soil started to take over.
One of the "weeds" I allowed to take over because of how fast it was growing and I wanted at least some root growth to aide in holding the bank.
Well around two weeks ago I noticed this weed was growing a very eye pleasing, trombone shaped, purple flower.
At the time I thought, man, I should know this from somewhere, it looks real familar.
Today I noticed the seed pods growing on them and knew exactly what they where.
100 imaginary points to who can figure out what it is. And ill give you a few more clues.
1. I'm not growing pot. So don't get stuck on the weeds in quotation marks.
2. You can smoke the leaves AND it helps you breathe easier. Imagine that.
3. If you grind the leaves up and mix them with lard its an old school burn remedy and also a very strong topical pain killer.
4. If you eat the seeds you may see smurfs.
5. If you eat too many seeds you may see the light.
Hope some of you guys know what it is. I may not be myself here soon.
