Description
The common shepherd's purse – o simply called shepherd's purse – belongs to the crucifer family, just like the different cabbage types, for example.
The exact origin of the herb is still unknown today - but it probably comes from the countries of Western Asia and Southern Europe. Over the time, however, the shepherd's purse has spread worldwide and is now found in almost all of Europe. It grows mainly in sunny to semi-shady places.
It is a herbaceous plant that grows as an annual or biennial plant. The herb has a white root, which extends up to one meter in depth. How high the shepherd's purse grows, depends on the location and its climate - this way, the herb grows 10 cm to 50 cm high. Its leaves are elongated and have dark hair on their underside. The flowers are arranged in umbels and can even pollinate themselves.
Do you wonder how the plant got its name? The shape of its seeds resemble shepherd's pockets.
The lady's mantle belongs to the rose family. To many, the plant is also known as "Bear's foot".
The original habitat of lady's mantle is Eastern Europe and Asia. Over the years, however, the plant has spread widely and can now be found in large parts of Western Europe, including France and Great Britain, as well as in Greece and Germany. It can usually be found on meadows or on hillsides.
Lady's mantle is a herbaceous plant that grows perennially and gets about 50cm high. Characteristic for the plant are the crystal clear drops coming out of the leaves - they are called "guttation drops". The flowers are close next to each other and yellowish to green coloured.
Have you heard that the lady's mantle is also called " the women's best friend"?
The common yarrow belongs to the composite family. Therefore, it is for example related to the dandelion or arnica.
There is no information about the exact origin of the plant, but it can be found worldwide - mainly in large parts of Europe, northern Asia and the USA. In these countries it can be found growing naturally almost everywhere, as it is a quite adaptive plant.
Yarrow is a perennial plant that grows up to 60 to 140 cm. Its rootstock is very big and can reach a length of one meter. The stem is very sturdy and its leaves look like feathers. Depending on the type of yarrow, the flowers bloom in different colors - but the common yarrow has white flowers.
Did you know that yarrow can also be used in cooking? The bitter taste is popular for flavoring herb salads and herbal spreads.
The yam, as you can maybe guess, belongs to the yam family. This family includes up to 800 plant species native to the tropics.
The plant originates from West Africa and Latin America and is now cultivated in tropical areas worldwide.
There are up to 2500 nettle types that all belong to the nettle family.
Nettle plants can be found all over the world - except in Antarctica, because the plant does not grow there. Originally, the nettle originates from Central Europe, but over the time it has spread to Northern Europe, Asia and North America.
The stinging nettle is familiar to most people - it is recognized by its heart-shaped leaves with toothed edges. The nettle can reach a height up to 150cm. It is a perennial, resistant plant, which is known to irritate the skin when touched. This is due to the stinging hair on the leaves and stem. For this reason, the nettle is not very appreciated and is considered by many to be an annoying weed.
Did you know the reason for the stinging hair on the plant? It is because they serve as protection from predators. The stinging bristles are filled with formic acid and when you touch the plant, this acid is released and causes unpleasant stings.
