Klaus,

So it’s Bidens fergolia, is it!

Well thrn, my good friend. It’s a timely eye opener, indeed, to come go know of a plant under the seemingly “possessive” name, “Biden’s” which has many suggested, (but unproven medical remedies for what ails us!

No matter butterfly or bee, the insect has a noticeable landing circle marked.

For humans, we likely rely on morphology of leaves, flower and fruits to guide our choice of food!

Problem is that a lot of claims are made about “natural” medicine and just because many compounds are bio-active, doesn’t mean they have practical use.

Still, we need to invest 100 times more to know how to better monitor, measure, protect and fully benefit from so many plants fungi and other life forms that we take for granted!

Unfortunately, right wing sentiment disparages science as liberal tree-huggers delusions.

In fact, the capitalist would be excited and enthusiastic if they were not so ignorant of what natural organisms have to offer in medicines, industrial processes, mechanical mechanisms and more!
