Original Format: Digital Orientation: Landscape Shot: This shot was taken to share the idea of how the galium looks like a blanket of light green in areas during the early spring. At many angles, the plant is so thick that its individual characteristics become indistinguishable when there is such a density of the plant. However, a closer look reveals its unique look. This plant blankets mulched areas in early spring, particularly when the ground has been moist. Although a traditional concern to ranchers in south Texas (and thus the nickname "chokeweed"), Galium aparine is an intriguing short-lived natural groundcover with tiny white flowers and a unique texture.
