Plant Pictures and Upcoming Herb Classes

 

We are now deep into the unfolding green magic of summer, and as rainfall returns to normal, the plants are vibrant and lush. Here are some pictures I've taken in my rambles these past few months. Note that not all of them are medicinal but some, like American Columbo, are rare and quite beautiful and it was very exciting to find them. I hope you enjoy my photos, let me know if you have questions about any of them.
