  1. A composition master piece, me thinks. You managed to capture the plant itself in detail as well as giving enormous room to its habitat. Posted 11 years ago

"Rumex acetosella" is a species of sorrel. The plant and its subspecies are common perennial weeds. It has green arrowhead-shaped leaves and red-tinted deeply ridged stems, and it sprouts from an aggressive and spreading rhizome. The flowers emerge from a tall, upright stem. Female flowers are maroon in color.
