This photograph of the herb stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) was taken in Göreme, Turkey. The young leaves of the stinging nettle plant are edible; the mature leaves contain stinging hairs called trichomes. When the mature leaf is touched, the hair tips come off and inject into the skin causing a stinging sensation.Galleries:Göreme, Herbs and SpicesKeywords:europe, göreme, herb, herbaceous plant, isirgan otu, stinging nettle, turkey, urtica dioica, urticaceaePhoto Location: Göreme, TurkeyPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 05/18/2012Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.025F Number: 11Original Dimensions: 5616×3744Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 38°40′0″N 34°50′0″EPicture Number: 24778
