"In Europe Yarrow was used for divination too. Sorcerers poked Yarrow leaves up their nose, making it bleed in order to find answers to their questions. This gave Yarrow the name Bad Man's Plaything or Nosebleed." In these often baffling times, it is somehow reassuring to know that humans have always been berserk!

I like that thought!
Thanks Chantal. I will remember this whenever I pass by my own yarrow!!
Oh, you have them too! We have them growing along the stream that edges our garden.
Lots of volunteers.
