The Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) out back has the advantage over its wild kin of having been watered more than nature provided this season.
The basal rosette of this plant, like the many neighbors in its patch, was about as big around as the palm of my hand.
Although it's a very good edible plant, this one ended up in a small vase on the window ledge over our kitchen sink.
