Urtica sp.
This plant is green, it is consider a weed. Is very common in gardens. If you touch it it gives you a rash that provokes a lot of itching. It has really tiny thorns.
Gardens, Humid Places.
I hate touching this weed because the itch it provokes is very annoying. This plant is very beautiful looking.
Wow nice to know. Who would of thought that this little weed could be so helpful. Thanks ;)
You may consider adding this to the mission plants used for homeopathic remedies.
