Henbit is a weed that I always thought was "honeysuckle" - as kids, we would suck the little purple tubular blossoms on the ends of these plants. Come to find out (just this morning!) their real name is "Henbit." Here is a picture:

It's good to know your weeds! Some are edible, and I am going to experiment with including more edible native weeds in my diet, to see if it helps my allergies / asthma, that usually gives me so much trouble.

This morning was a start - Henbit is an edible weed, and you can make tea from it. It tastes just like it smells, so it will take time for me to get more used to it. It tastes quite "weedy".
