Turtlehead (Chelone glabra) - 03
(Turtlehead (Chelone glabra) - 03) The turtlehead got its name because the corolla looks something like the head of a turtle, which is also reflected in the scientific name "chelone," which in Greek means "tortoise."  In this photo, we can also see the short stems on the leaves where they branch off from the stalk.

lamb-right lamb-left 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.
