Red veined sorrel (botanical name Rumex sanguineus) is one the prettiest of the sorrels which makes it as useful in ornamental gardening as it is in the kitchen garden. The narrow leaves have a red rib and a network of red veins.

Beautiful plant- can it be used as salad greens ?
Susie
It is bitter and the young leaves are supposed to be best for flavouring salads. It is a medicinal plant so be cautious about eating it until you’ve researched its properties – for example, it can trigger an allergic reaction in some people.
So pretty !!!
Glad you liked it!

Well photographed
Thanks, Derrick.
Sorrel has flowers? Or are those interlopers from another plant? That full-faced sorrel at the base of the image is wonderfully graceful. A great portrait!
Yes, those are the flowers.
Thanks!
Reminds me a bit of beet greens.
I am half-way to liking beet greens. I never had them as a child.
I like beet greens best uncooked, in a wrap or as part of a salad.
