stitchwort sideways
this shows this pretty white flower from an unusual angle. Their latin family name is stellaria, for little stars which is what they look like, and in this case holostea ... for making bones whole (because the stems snap easily and therefore ...). And if you pick it there will be a thunderstorm (hence thunder flower). And stitch for easing stitches. What a lot of dog-lore for one day.
