🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Meadowsweet

Aspirin is named after this flower - "spir" comes from Spiraea, meadowsweet's old botanical name, where the compound was first found!

In Under the Elm, find it along the wet edges of the Marshlands in summer 🌼

🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Rosehip

When the war cut Britain off from citrus, schoolchildren were paid to pick wild rosehips, and the hips were boiled into vitamin C syrup for children!

In Under the Elm, find them in the Clearing 🍂

🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Monkshood

Also called wolfsbane. Hooded purple flowers, and so poisonous you shouldn't even touch it bare-handed. Greek myth says it first grew where Cerberus drooled!

In Under the Elm, find it in the Deep Woods 🌲

🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Swamp Root

Marshmallows are named after this plant! The old sweet was made from the mucilage in marsh mallow root, which is the same slippery stuff that coats a raw throat.

In Under the Elm, find it in the Marshlands 🌾
