Common Beauty

Common Yarrow is one of the late bloomers, with its full bloom heading into the heat of summer. It's native to California, drought tolerant, and frequently found in the mildly disturbed soil of grasslands and open forests. Native Americans used yarrow to relief pain and headaches.

  • Agree with Don. Maybe I'll bloom yet. Lovely flowers, so sweetly framed and presented here.

  • Unlike Mindy and Donald, I'm just not going to bloom. I was killed off by a late frost. ;^) I'm also mildly disturbed. Heh heh.

  • Yarrow is also very good to grow if you work around people a lot, or at least that's what I've read. I really like this image - it's beautifully composed and the white looks so fresh against that soft background.
