Such a pretty primrose!

This stellaria media "Little star", common name: Chickweed started growing this fall and it has withstood the cold very well. It appeared so fragile that I was surpised to see the strength and vigor of it's growth and how extraordinarily hardy it is.

And it's a wonderful, edible herb with sooo many medicinal qualities, full of minerals and vitamins, and makes a great detoxifying & blood purifying herb/wildflower. I may start harvesting some today!
