Description
This is locally considered to be a weed. I am not sure why that is so but if that is true then I will say it is at least a very attractive weed. In addition to being pretty it has been used to make a tea that was medicinally used for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and still is. In addition to that, an oil used in industry was obtained from the leaves during WW1.
.My thank to those who take the time to comment. The feedback is appreciated.

They do say a weed is merely a wildflower in the wrong place ! I had not heard of this one till now.
Delightfully Beautiful Work,
