Hairy?

A covering of any kind of hair, or trichome, on a plant is an indumentum, and the surface bearing them is said to be pubescent.

See June 11 for the amazing orange flower.

Traditional uses and benefits of Hawkweed

"This herb is used in cases of edema or fluid retention, kidney stones, cystitis, and hyper-uricemia. Juice in wine, promotes digestion, expels wind, and neutralizes acidity in the stomach. Scruple of the dried root given in wine and vinegar, is good for the dropsy."

Or simply yet another glimpse into the weird and wonderful world all around us.
