Fool's Parsley, Göteborg, March 27th, 2002


Fool's Parsley

 



our lawns are full of creeping buttercup rosettes
nine, ninety, nine hundred

so when one of them is not just thrice and thrice divided
but carries on for five pairs:
are the buttercups really supposed to do that?

NO and NO
this one is the fool's parsley
exception that confirms buttercup rule


Creeping Buttercup



Aethusa cynapium
Vildpersilja i november,
i juni, i oktober och i januari

Eva Ekeblad, 2002



With thanks to Erik Ljungstrand for unriddling yet another rosette
