Oat in the gentle light of the setting sun

Oat

The oats (Avena) are a genus of 10-15 species of true grasses (family Poaceae). They are native to Europe, Asia and northwest Africa. One species is widely cultivated elsewhere, and several have become naturalized in many parts of the world. All oats have edible seeds, though they are small and hard to harvest in most species.

Avena species, including cultivated oats, are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Rustic Shoulder-knot and Setaceous Hebrew Character.

Oat and Sunrays

To-day we exert oneself so much for things,
we do not really need,

and thereby we lose
 sight of those, 
which belong to our natural resources.
