Delicate & Beautiful Yarrow Blossoms (2 more pix below)
Back when I started the Flowers of Spring & Summer project, I didn't think about putting additional views into my comments. Eventually what happened was that I got bunches of pictures that just sat there. Here are some other views of Yarrow, with the original picture below.

In case you didn't get a chance to read about this flower before, here's the information again:

Yarrow is found all over the Northern Hemisphere and in the southwestern United States, it's also known as plumajillo, or "little feather" because of the shape of its leaves. This flower is known by many names, including "herbal militaris" because of its use in stopping blood flow. In fact, Yarrow is an extremely valuable medicinal herb and is used in the treatment of seemingly countless ailments! Yarrow is also used in shampoo, though overuse can cause one's skin to become overly sensitive to sunlight. It's also used in teas as a sedative. And it's even used in various liquors and bitters! In fact, there are so many uses for Yarrow that it seems like one of those "miracle elixers" that can cure everything and be used for anything! Yet, the list of things this herb is used for is amazing! I had no idea that this common, beautiful flower is so powerful as a medicinal herb and more!
