Great Hairy American Willow-herb, Göteborg, July 25th, 2002

Epilobium hirsutum X adenocaulon Rosen-amerikansk dunört: januari, juni och september

When flowers opened
they were much too small
for the Great Hairy
and most of them
with a club-shaped stigma
- though some
slightly four-cleft

Of course it was Erik
who recognized the hybrid.


I wonder
if

the
purebred
Great
Hairy

is
hiding

somewhere
in
the
scrub

along
the
Ditch

must
go
look
soon
