Dooryard dock

If you don't know what to blip always are weeds. This one is more like a forb or a herb. Guess it is the dooryard dock Rumex longifolius but several Rumex species are very simiral in appearance. Some people even eat it in salads. Its leaves should not be eaten in large amounts because it contains quite high level of oxalic acid. It also tastes lemon flavour.
We have some kind of heat wave now and they promise it holds over the next week-end. Hurrah!
