(Knapweed - Star Thistle - Bachelor's Button (Centaurea spp.) - 01) The knapweed, a member of the Composite family, is a European native that escaped from cultivation.  The leaves of this species are lanceolate (shaped like a lance) and alternate on the stem.  The blooms develop on the head of the scale-like bracts in the same manner as do the thistles, which led to the name "star-thistle".

lamb-right lamb-left 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.
