Wildflower of the week 2....Feverfew- Chrysanthemum parthenium

This one is very pretty - love the white wildflowers they are just so cheerful.

they remind me of little babies in bonnets

Thanks Mookins,I have this in my garden and now can put a name to it,it is pretty so although I have to keep a close watch over it (gets everywhere else) always leave some and yes it leaves a horrible smell on my hands when removing what I dont want.....

Thanks Mookins! I really ought to try some of it for my frequent headaches. I also get muscle spasms. Will look up how to drink it! xoxoxo

You can also eat it in a sandwich... but im sure a drink would be nicer caftnutter

bernieh its a very pretty one i sometimes think the wildflowers are prettier than a lot of the garden plants we buy

Mookins, I'll have to give that a go, when I've got one as a plant! Have to hunt one out now! I'm gonna cheat and buy one!

a bit of history for ya mookins...My grandmother told of when she was a young girl of working in the garden in
90 F weather with arms and legs totally covered and large hats...the reason? so they wouldn't become tan...being white was the sign of beauty at that time. Thus the reason for the fairy tale "Snow White"

Now it is quite the opposite.

wow! how times have changed like you say now is quite the opposite, and in some cases orange is supposed to be the "in" shade to be hehehe

good blog jen,, could do with some of these, think i need a sedative lol

Thank you Mookins, I enjoyed your blog. One trouble is that it isn't much use to me as I don't need a tonic for my appetite, I don't get muscle spasms as I don't have any muscles, I don't suffer from vertigo and as for needing a laxative. I sometimes do need a mild sedative though, especially if I've done something to displease "Er indoors" and I'm scared she'll find out.

sedative definatly seems to be a winner guys and gals, sanbaz what are you like hehe

Toto you could always groww some to hide behind in case "er indoors" has found out!!

thanks for all your support peeps

tune in next week

Toto, you're sooooo funny! Lol!!

Mookins, looking forward to it sweetie!

lol jen,,, cant wait to go away thats what it is ,, going crazy hehehe

White skin was fashionable because it showed you didn't have to work out in the sun, ie you had someone to do it for you
Then suntans became the 'in' thing because you could afford to go somewhere sunny to get one

and the point is andrew lol,, sorry im not getting the point heheh

I have this all over the garden mine is a double form though, will post some pics when its out, its in bud at the moment, its easy to pull out though if it gets somewhere you don't want it, i wouldn't be without it its so pretty.
