My photos are all looking alike these days! This is one of several lady's mantles
(Alchemilla mollis) that we have moved into the herb garden. It is about twice its size already from all of the rain we are having. A native of northern Europe and named for the Virgin Mary's cloak with the scalloped edge. It is lovely after a rain when its leaves hold the water making them glisten. It does have an edible flower. I have never personally eaten it. Ours usually get buried in a bed in the back. Maybe now that we have moved them to a more prominent space, I will try eating some of them. Lady's Mantle is very popular in England where it is used in an herb garden or any garden as an edging plant. It is a clumper and reseeds very gently. It does get ratty in the summer meaning you need to trim it back after the flowers are done to have it looking good. A very ornamental herb. Hope you had a good day wherever you may be. Talk to you later.
