Hi Shundra,

We have oh so many of them. I have requested some detailed information for you from the RADA office- that should include the scientific names et al. As soon as I get it I will forward it on to you personally.

Many of them, by the way are medicinal.

You will learn of weeds such as

Wild Ginger
Red Bush
Behamia Grass
It grows in clusters
Cerassie
bitter bush
Spanish Needle
Good for fever and stomach aches. Also used to feed rabbits
Ganja (Marijuana)
Dandelion
King of the forest
Comfey
Black Sage
Periwinkle
Good for diabetes
...and lots more!
