Chickweed close up.💚 Chickweed is such a prolific wild edible and medicinal but it took me a long time to forge a true connection with it. Like people, some herbs we bond with quickly and others can take years to start to get to know on a deeper level. I have grown to love it so much with its beautiful star flowers and succulent leaves. Definitely worth the wait! Which plants did you connect with quickly and which took a long time? I'd love to know! #chickweed #wildedibles #wildherbs #wildmedicine #plantallies #healingherbs #botanicalillustration #botanicalart #natureart #natureillustration #watercolour #watercolor #herbalist #herbalmedicine #stellariamedia #plantspiritmedicine #connectionBeautiful Echinacea. A powerful lymphathic herb that has become famous for its ability to boost the immune system. It's also well loved by a variety of insects including butterflies and bees. #echinacea #healingherbs #naturalmedicine #naturecure #medicinalherbs #plantmagicGreen silver lines (Pseudoips prasinana). I love the vibrant colours of this moth and the bright pink edge to the male's wings. #greensilverlines #britishmoths #mothsmatter #mothsofinstagram #mothart #lepidoptera #naturalhistoryillustration #natureart #natureillustration #mothillustrationYarrow, calendula and plantain about to be turned into an all purpose first aid balm. Yarrow is helpful for scrapes and grazes, plantain is wonderful for bites, stings and splinters and calendula is deeply soothing and healing for damaged skin. They were heated with olive oil for a couple of hours and then turned into a semi solid salve. There are detailed instructions about how to make infused oils and balms/ salves on the 'how to make' page of my blog. #yarrow #calendula #plantain #healingherbs #homeherbalism #firstaid #wildmedicine #foraging
