(
Yellow Avens (Geum Aleppicum) - 01) The yellow avens is a summer blooming wildflower (June -
August) that grows to a height of from one to five feet. The taller ones
seem to be in locations where they are competing for sunlight. Yellow
avens usually are found in thickets and moist meadows, and north of a line from
New Jersey to Illinois.
(
Yellow Avens (Geum Aleppicum) - 01a) The leaves of the yellow avens are pinnate with as many
as nine toothed leaflets (according to the literature). The yellow avens
we have seen have three leaflets. These leaves alternate on the stalk and
sometimes have smaller solitary leaves, as pictured here.
(
Yellow Avens (Geum Aleppicum) - 02) The actual size of the yellow avens flower is one inch in
diameter. The yellow avens flower has five petals which, in this photo,
are just beginning to unfold; and when fully developed, are all yellow.
The numerous stamens and pistils are not developed enough to properly be seen 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.
