#yarrow — Public Fediverse posts

In the midst of a Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Mariesii Lilacina’ grows a self-sown Achillea, maybe Yarrow, hard to know and very difficult to spot. Their flowers are absolutely identical in colour. Even their flower heads are similar in shape. Is this a case of perfect colour harmony or plant intelligence using colour as camouflage?

Several of my #yarrow plants are still producing lots of wee, pretty white blooms 😍

#MythologyMonday 🍇🌿🧙‍♀️🫖
In Appalachian folklore, boneset tea was a fever remedy when “witch’s breath” (illness) swept the mountains. 🤒⛰️🌳🌡️

💮 #Yarrow was brewed to “sweat out” sickness, and elderberries offered magical protection and healing from colds. Herbs hung above doorways guarded families from plague.

#ladybird #ladybug sunning itself on what I think is a #yarrow in our garden...

It's been a good year for ladybirds, and insects in general, this year.

Happy Lughnasadh to those who celebrate it. In 2023, I made this mixed-media artwork inspired by the Pagan tradition.

Pretty #pink #yarrow blooms. Planted together with equally beautiful yellow yarrows. A real delight for #pollinators 💖

A Western Grey #Squirrel amidst dry grass and #Oregon Sunshine near the summit of Spencer's Butte, #Eugene. These guys are so used to humans they will brush up against you, sniffing you to see if you carry nuts or seeds. This common #Rodent does not seem to be affected by the #PoisonOak! #Hiking #Wildflower #Yarrow #OregonSunshine #Aster #Sumac

Yarrow is blooming.
