The Living Forest (191) : Yellow Archangel
This wild plant with its vivid yellow flowers can mostly be found in the darkest places of the forest.
The leaves of the Yellow Archangel appear superficially similar to those of the Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) but do not sting.
In fact, it’s just an ordinary nettle species, but have a look how beautiful its flowers are structured !
Dutch name : Gele dovenetel

Ich sahe immer nur weisse "Brennessel" (das ist nicht diese Art aber ähnlich) und dieses Jahr habe ich viele Goldnessel gesehen : sehr interessant !++++++++
