Yarrow is a very common flower found in grassy areas
and wasteland.
The flowerheads comprise clusters of tiny florets about
5mm diameter. The leaves are feathery growing from wooly
stems which give off a strong scent.
It is widely used in herbal medicine to help digestion,
improve circulation, heal wounds and alleviate coughs and
colds.
