a) Chicorium intybus. Chicory! The same chicory that's used as a coffee additive/alternative!
b) Oxalis stricta. Yellow woodsorrel. It's much too beautiful and fragile a plant to be named ox-anything!
c) Achillea mellifolium. Yarrow. I've been reading about this for a while and its medicinal properties are stupendous. It can be used as a pain reliever, to stop bleeding, and as an insect repellent. I need to grow some in the garden!
d) Taraxacum officinale. Dandelions! Yet another flower whose scientific name woefully falls short of describing the flower. Who doesn't know dandelions?
e) Many more whose names I haven't yet figured out.
