I took a walk to find some spring flowers, wearing a woolen hat, a mask and a down jacket.
I found out the name of this plant. It's Calendula arvensis, or field marigold also called unwitting winter.
Henbit flowers never fear coldness. 寶蓋草
This was my lunch. Beef tongue on the white plate, oxtail soup. Grated yam is in the right upper bowl. Rice is mixed with rolled barley, which is good for health. 牛舌套餐
Stay healthy and happy, my friends.
Wonderful lunch, RTC. I do love oxtail soup. I've never eaten rice mixed with wheat.
ReplyDelete個午餐好唔錯喎.
ReplyDeleteYellow is my favorite color when it comes to flowers. Good idea to mix rice with wheat! I don't find rice alone tasty.
ReplyDeleteThe mixed is rolled barley, not wheat. Sorry for my mistake.
Delete午餐很豐富👍
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and a delicious lunch -- what a good day!
ReplyDelete早餐豐富精神好 ᕕ( •̀ ỏ•́)ᕗ 踏青賞春花去 🌷
ReplyDelete油菜花我從未見過 , 聞說大遍油菜花盛開很美麗的 .
ReplyDeleteHello rtc, What beautiful flowers you have found. I should get more off the beaten path here to look for some unusual ones. I'll bet there are some nice plants in the park near the Danshui River, but I have to get there while it is still light out!

Reading your comment, I just remembered 論語先進篇第25章 ”莫春者春服既成～～”.
DeleteLovely spring flowers. A delicious lunch.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
ReplyDeleteLovely images of the forebodes of spring.
Wish I could tell you what those tiny yellow flowers with velvety leaves are.
Lunch looks great.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful touches of color to brighten these winter days.
ReplyDeleteInteresting meal - could you mix the rice with bulgar? I made tabbouleh a few days ago so have some bulgar remaining.
Mary -
Bulgur wheat is perched and crushed. I ate rice mixed with flat rolled barley. Rice mixed with bulgur will have another texture.
DeleteLoved the photos, Crane!
ReplyDeleteYummy
ReplyDeleteI think that's a field marigold in your second photo. You inspire me. I really should get out into nature soon. Your lunch looks delicious
ReplyDeleteOx Tongue bento set is a lovely meal
ReplyDeleteNice flowers. I've never eaten a beef tongue! I remembered to pull out the flowers that I put in the garage before the freezing storm we had a week ago. Good to see the flowers look better outdoors now with it raining lately. Have a good week, RTC!
ReplyDeleteInteresting flowers.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't eat that Ox Tongue but I do hope you enjoyed it as I'm sure you would.
Take care.
It's cold and icy here so seeing these bursts of early spring is a special joy. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you enjoyed your lunch.
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
It sounds so odd to be wearing a woollen hat and down jacket and then see yellow spring flowers! I would expect to be out in snow when wearing a hat and jacket like that! Those flowers looks so pretty and that lunch looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteFlowers already! Oh, what a delight that must be. It's still so cold here and rainy. Your meal is so planned out and looks healthy. My dad used to make us try everything when I was growing up. One of them was tongue. It wasn't my favorite thing to eat, but at least I can say that I ate tongue!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend. And thank you for the Spring flowers. I needed that today. : )
