I have been collecting it this winter off the ground. Supposedly it is a good dye source. Will let you know how it works this spring/summer when I try it. Laurene
Ah, Laurene, Hello! Are you Anonymous commenter on last night's post?
I just love Old Man's Beard and there's SO MUCH of it around these days. Far more than when I was young. I'm curious about the conditions that are making this happen.
What color do you expect to get from it? Something silverish, I suspect. I'll be curious to know.

What an apt name!!
ReplyDeleteI know! Of course that's just the common name I learned as a kid. I've never looked up the Latin name.
