Description
In June of 2022 I consulted with my very knowledgeable friends Aleta and Fred as to the identity of the flowers I had just painted, #2672 "Dames Rocket". They did not hesitate at labelling them as Dame's Rocket - sometimes tootled as an invasive specie, but generally just a few plants in a cluster on recently disturbed soil or along streams.
The beautiful cluster of plants re-emerged again right on schedule in 2023 just as I was looking for something colourful to paint. There were a few insects visiting the flowers and their buzzing provided the soundtrack to the painting.
Dame's rocket was brought to North America in the 17th century and has since become naturalized there, now growing throughout most of the US and Canada. Young leaves are high in vitamin C and can be eaten in salads and have a slightly bitter taste. Seeds can be sprouted and also eaten in salads.
