A couple weeks ago the Solomon’s Seal in the road ditch was blazing a golden last hurrah for the season…
(Lefty sometimes tags along on photo hunts…)
The Solomon’s Seal patch was packed with intriguing photo ops…
I have no clue if these blueberry look-a-likes are edible…
According to my Peterson Field Guide, the roots of Solomon’s Seal were used as Indian and folk remedies to treat indigestion, coughs, profuse menstruation, piles, constipation, rheumatism, arthritis, lung ailments, skin irritations, sharp pains, cuts, bruises, sores, carbuncles, and “general debility”. Also used to promote restful sleep. Sounds to me like a fairly broad-spectrum pharmaceutical!

«Louis» thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
Love how many things it's good for! I'm thinking I might need to scope these out, see if they're available in Minnesota!

Thank you for stopping my blog!
Have a great day, New Friend!
I knew the roots were medicinal but know nothing of the berries.
I bought some of this for my garden a few years ago, it appears to occur naturally in your area. I explained to my wife that most plants we buy are considered weeds somewhere else. But it is nice to have something different in the garden.
Lovely color and I love the macro!!!
