In the Montiaceae family, you’ll find a true winter gem called claytonia, mild and succulent with tiny round leaves.

So would baby spinach or claytonia, with its succulent little leaves.

Try arranging the slices in overlapping rings on a salad plate, slicked with vinaigrette and topped with small tender greens such as arugula, claytonia and mâche.

At my feet, a blush of pale pink petals with magenta-colored stripes: spring beauty, Claytonia virginica.

We could very well have preserved many Indian names, among them Hiawatha's "Beauty of the springtime, The Miskodeed in blossom," I think Miskodeed a better name than Claytonia or Spring Beauty.
