    Haha, @Selleri! I did look it up, seems that jauhosavvikka is commonly known here as fat hen, and isnt the plant I’ve seen. I was interested to find that pissenlit seem to be dandelions, which might explain why, in my childhood, anyone seen picking dandelions was accused of wetting the bed.

    A happy story in the news? Really? Really!

    I saw that on the News on TV. They look so realistic. I suppose a lot of us here do gardening for the same reason.
