Going to seed

Cilantro blooms and seeds

What sweet little flowers!

Oh that is absolutely charming! I love it!

Nice banner KHT!

Thank you for your posts and the thumbs up.

I hate cilantro, but it makes a pretty banner.

When I first glanced at your banner I thought it was Candytuft. That is absolutely beautiful! I love, love, love Cilantro, and even though I've grown it many times I have never seen it's flowers in that light. Bravo!

My first time seeing blooms of cilantro. Beautiful job showing off what I assume is the non-edible part of the plant.

Correct arctangent. One of our plants somehow grew into our cucs or our cucs took
over that area cilantro. Really cute bloom.

You've brought our attention to another beauty of Nature. I was very intrigued by the non-symmetry of the petal distribution of the blossom.
Off balance (?), but not according to the Creator. Beautiful banner.

Again, Thank you all for the thumbs up and replies. I just found it interesting and thought folks would enjoy!

Fleur569, I've been off balanced for a while, so it was normal for me! ; )

At first glance, I thought it must be Orlaya, which has a similar flower, but instead it was my old enemy, cilantro!

I feel exactly the same about that weed. But it does have pretty flowers.

scvirginia:
Wow, I have never seen or grown Orlaya grandiflora up here in the PNW!

It's a darn good tasty weed in a kitchen sink salad be sides salsa!!

That and parsley taste like soap to me.

I know a lot of people think it tastes soapy, but to me, it tastes like rotting vegetation. Disgusting. I like the seed (Coriander) though, and use it in cooking. It's apparently a genetic thing...

Yes, I know there are all sorts of palettes in this world, but I can't understand why anybody that would like soapy or rotten vegetation flavors.

Maybe that's why nobody eats the parsley garnish on the main dish.

It's genetics, apparently. What you taste as soapy & I taste as rotten, others taste as delicious or at least unobjectionable.

Must be, since I love coffee and bourbon. Probably two of the most disgusting things to a young palette.
