Pig Face

I wonder why they have this name - not very fitting. These can be eaten entirely - leaves and flowers and have medicinal qualities as well. They have been used by the people in this country since time immemorial raw or cooked.

always seems such an ugly name for such a pretty and robust flower!

Lovely shot of this dainty little flower, pity about the name. I have a plant called pig's ears ;-)

They are so beautiful. We have them growing all along the waterfront near me and I pulled up a couple of bits, planted them in our garden and they have grown like wildfire.

Pretty flowers but a shame about the name.

[Rick]

Yeah, don't see the name. Great shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

What are they good for medicinally.

[Fr1da]

Its a bit like lettuce --only the native variety.

Don’t see a pig face. Lovely plant though. Maybe in the native language they had a name that sounded like pig face and the English speakers adopted it.
