Meadowsweet

What a gorgeous summer day. The sun was shining, there was very little wind and the sky was clear and blue. He'd been caught by one of his nieces heading out toward the Orchard and he offered to let the girl come along on his hunt for various herbs. The height of summer was an excellent time to gather meadowsweet. He settled beneath an oak tree and shrugged off his pack before pulling out a tin of the dried herb and opening it. "Take a whiff, this is what Meadowsweet smells like. It's best to gather it in summer when it is blooming with small white flowers. You know you were named after Meadowsweet. It's scientific name is Spiraea Ulmaria."
