Coriander, Göteborg, July 19th, 2003



Coriandrum sativum
Koriander i augusti

Eva Ekeblad, 2003



  The ruderal grounds in the reconstruction area of the Next Block are gradually being tamed. In the last bay of the meandering backside of the block there is a last refuge for new S-weeds, and old.

  This summer I get the feeling that this small area of the S-weed domain is being exhausted. Not that I don't still find new taxa... and not that distinctions between common weeds that I have once worked through will stay clear in my mind... but I'm looking for a form that fits more wide-ranging botanical explorations. I need a new name. The hunch of three years ago to name the wild plant life in my immediate neighbourhood "S-weeds" might fit some of the other places I visit, but I'd prefer not to overexpand it. Perhaps next there will be "S-worts"...
