 From the brilliant-colored concentric patterns Pfeiffer has been able to disclose new secrets of life.

+---Pfeiffer came to realize that it is only our human egotistical point of
+view that labels a weed a weed, and that if they were viewed as a
+functioning part of nature, weeds would have much to teach. Pfeiffer
+proved that a whole group of weeds, including sorrels, docks, and
+horsetails, are sure indicators that the soil is becoming too acidic. Dande-
+lions, which lawn owners so feverishly dig up; actually heal the soil by
+transporting minerals, especially calcium, upward from deep layers, even
+from underneath hardpan. The dandelion is thus warning the lawn
+owner that something is wrong with the life of his soil. Pfeiffer came to the conclusion that,
+when soil lacks lime, silicon-loving plants such as daisies move onto it.
+When they die, they bring to the soil the missing calcium.  pg 264

+what the planet's vegetal covering on terra firma has been doing since
