Drowsy Swallow-wort

The Euptellea Crispum is an extremely scarce, modest plant and can be found in most subarctic regions. It blooms in early autumn. It has small, triangular leaves, which are usually mint green. It also grows tiny flowers, which can be light red, blue, gold and light pink. These plants grow in large groups, but it's complicated to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as an energizer when eaten. As a defense mechanism the Euptellea Crispum grows stinging hairs, like a nettle. They rely on winds to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow fairly large, inedible fruits.
