It is small and unassuming, and I guess most people overlook it. But as a child I was interested in the plants around me and I could not help but notice this one, as it's a charming little plant with scalloped, textured heart-shaped leaves that often overlap and delicate purple flowers on square stems typically of many members of the mint family. Rarely growing taller than twenty centimeters, it's easy for busy humans to overlook, but the bees rarely do. If you are patient you can see bees emerge from the flowers coated with the plant's bright red pollen. +\begin{figure}[H] + \centering + \begin{kbox} + \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{lamium_purpureum} + \caption{\textit{Lamium purpureum} L.} + \end{kbox} + \label{lampur1} +\end{figure} + It is edible, although I have never tried it as I typically see it growing by roadsides and I'm not sure how polluted those environments are. (Leaded gasoline was still a thing when I was a child, and I'm not aware of any studies that have examined how much of it is still in the soil along roads.) They are apparently good raw in salads, but can also be added to fried dishes. It also has medicinal properties, as a salve made with the plant is supposedly good at soothing skin irritations. The common name ``dead nettle'' refers to its superficial resemblance to true nettles (\textit{Urtica}) but it lacks the stinging hairs of plants of that genus, hence ``dead.'' It is also sometimes called ``red deadnettle'' or ``purple archangel.'' diff --git a/images/lamium_purpureum.png b/images/lamium_purpureum.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c68222e Binary files /dev/null and b/images/lamium_purpureum.png differ diff --git a/parts/1-packages.tex b/parts/1-packages.tex index 9d3d9a5..d6f631a 100644 --- a/parts/1-packages.tex +++ b/parts/1-packages.tex @@ -5,5 +5,9 @@ \usepackage[object=vectorian]{pgfornament} \usepackage[english]{babel} % Correcting hyphenation issues \usepackage{ragged2e} +\usepackage{graphicx} +\usepackage{wrapfig} +\usepackage{float} % Allow floats in multicol environments +\usepackage{tcolorbox} \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} diff --git a/parts/4-commands.tex b/parts/4-commands.tex index ea74d33..2c7c22d 100644 --- a/parts/4-commands.tex +++ b/parts/4-commands.tex @@ -39,5 +39,12 @@ \section*{{#1}} \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{{#1}} } - - +% Where are our images? +\graphicspath{{images/}} +% Custom boxes for «tcolorbox» package +\newtcolorbox{kbox}{ + colback=white, + sharp corners=all, + boxrule=0.75pt, + colframe=gray8, +} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/walking-001.tex b/walking-001.tex index cd34df2..c955b73 100644 --- a/walking-001.tex +++ b/walking-001.tex @@ -20,6 +20,9 @@ \cleardoublepage % Delete if TOC runs to 2n pages \setcounter{page}{1} +\pagestyle{empty} +\listoffigures + %% Begin Contents \pagenumbering{arabic}
