Meadowsweet;
Looking forward to creating some more based on wild flowers
Here gold leaf and silver on a jade-a precious colour in Chinese art - background depicts Meadowsweet, a creamy perennial found in meadows, woods and marshes. It was one of 3 herbs held sacred by the celts and was used to flavour mead, for pain relief, to stop bleeding and as a digestive aid. It was included in bridal bouquets to attract love, peace and happiness and starting in 1838 aspirin- derived from its latin name Spirea ULMANA- and in time the non steroidal anti inflammatories now used.
