achillea millefolium

[piranha]

native to BC, and pretty much everywhere else in the northern hemisphere, i think. ;)

common yarrow is purported to be a diaphoretic, astringent, stimulant and mild aromatic. the genus name achillea is derived from the mythical greek character Achilles, who supposedly carried it with his army to treat battle wounds.

I so love the smell of yarrow. It smells like out in a meadow under the open sky on a warm night.
