I have not seen any Burdock in northern Idaho but I would like some to be imported down south where we could use it around the state capital to ward off all the negativity that just made Idaho number 50 out of all the states on what we spend on education.

When the burrs were dry and brown, we'd pick a bunch of them and push them together to make "baskets." They were prickly but didn't sting or cut our hands, borderline uncomfortable. Anyway, from that experience it's not too hard to imagine some observant and inventive person coming up with Velcro. I remember the burdock plant in our yard in upstate New York.

I also loved the idea of warding off negativity. Let's start cultivating that beauty!
