おもしろい事実

One species, the Cuckooflower, gets its name because it blooms when the cuckoo bird returns in spring!

Some types of toothwort grow their flowers directly from the ground before their leaves even appear!

The spicy taste of bittercress is similar to horseradish, which is in the same plant family!

They are a 'pioneer species,' often being the first plants to grow in newly disturbed ground!
