Just what the plant doctor ordered this afternoon – mild weather and a good dose of drizzle!
In the park, Wild garlic (Allium ursinum), succulent and far too tasty to park your bike against.
Fumitory, used in some areas of the world to clear the body of radiation damage, following radiotherapy etc.
So much Fuki in one place! And still, it flowers on.
My daily dose of White Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) from this plant.
It’s bitterly cold here today, bizarrely cold for late March. Ponds are frozen solid and there is a strong biting wind which is keeping most people in there homes. As hardy Urban Herbologists, my little girl and I wrapped up warm, took a few herb photos in Park Frankendael, harvested some Black Horehound to test at home and then thawed out whilst enjoying a warm milk and a hot chocolate in Merkelbach restaurant.
Here is the White or Common Horehound (Marrubium vulgare)
And some increasingly delicious swathes of Wild Garlic.
All in all, a great day to visit the park and test out a new coat.
