A plant that looks like wool (Eriophorum angustifolium)

Dear Hiveans! In my article today, I would like to introduce you to a very interesting plant in my eyes which bears the name cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium) and grows in the northern hemisphere. What is directly noticeable in the pictures, one of the main characteristics of this plant is that the fruits and flowers are provided with hairs that look like wool.

The flowering period is from March to June and the preferred location for growing is in damp areas such as moor meadows or along streams. If the environment is suitable and the place is sunny or partially shaded, this plant will in most cases reach a height of between 30cm and 90cm. It will grow again every year as it survives winter frosts.

Unfortunately, many species of this plant genus are becoming increasingly rare and are under nature protection! The species Eriophorum angustifolium is not directly under protection but is considered endangered in many places.

Another property of this plant is that it has healing properties and for this reason it is a good natural medicine! Mainly the young shoots and the roots of the plant are used mostly against intestinal diseases and the active ingredients include proteins, tannins and bitter substances.

Thanks for watching and have a nice day, I took the photos with my iPhone 12.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

When I was a student at school, a similar fluffy flower was the best occasion for me to stop paying attention while studying! As soon as I found it, I followed it with my gaze, until it disappeared or I fell asleep! Generally very sleepy at school! Haha! What am I writing to you, my God?
