- (continued from previous page)We have a flower and its name is Our Lady's Tears. There are little blotches of water on it always. My Mother told me that one day Our Lady was crying and she wiped her tears on the leaves of this plant and that is why we call it Our Lady's Tears.
Bishop-weed and chicken weed are given to pigs mixed through their food in summer time. Dandalions and nettles are given to turkeys. Garlic is given to chickens for grapes.- Collector
