Silverweed or
Silverweed Cinquefoil
Scientific Name:
Argentina anserina
This flower was on a long stem and even the slight breeze kept the flower moving,
hence the poor picture
This species of plant has been cultivated as a food crop for its edible roots.
The usual wild forms, however, are impractical for this use,
as they are small and are hard to clean. It may also become a problem weed in gardens
