"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
(Coltsfoot - 04) The flowers of the coltsfoot appear long before the leaves.
The leaves (not shown here) are basal and grow upright, much like a dandelion's
leaves; but the coltsfoot's leaves are sparsely toothed and more rounded and
heart-shaped. The undersides of the leaves are white and hairy, and are said to
resemble a colt's foot, which led to the common name. These coltsfoot are about
4 inches high, and according to the literature, they can grow to 18 inches in
height, though we have not seen them that tall.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
