(Solomon's Seal, Hairy - 01a) The next thing to do in identifying the smooth Solomon's seal is to look at the end of the stem. If there is a fruit or a flower cluster, it is a false Solomon's seal. Smooth Solomon's seal looks like it has a terminal leaf, which moves to the side as additional leaves sprout from the end of the stem. The next feature to look for is the fruit or flowers hanging down from the under side of the stem, and which can be seen between the leaves in this photo.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
