"Medicinal use of Four O'clock Plant:

The root is used in the treatment of stomach complaints. A pinch of the powdered root is said to relieve hunger, it can also be used after overeating to relieve the discomfort. A poultice of the powdered root can be applied to swellings. Large quantities of the root are said to cause intoxication. The root was chewed by native North American Medicine men to induce visions whilst making a diagnosis." Copied..

inchworm moves slowly touched by fall's recent chilling.. dines on four o'clock

Donna, I did not take the picture..I copied from the internet but I did have two inchworms on my four o'clock that I could have taken their picture..I do not know how to get one on here from my own pictures except on the Avatar and other personal pics..Sara

I guess this would confirm the theory of the early bird getting the worm, Mrs Sara. A delightful haiku.
