Curled dock and lady´s bedstraw.
If you bring home a small bunch of lady’s bedstraw (Galium verum), a good herb against inflammations, the whole room will smell wonderfully for some time, even too strongly for some of us. It keeps its yellow colour on drying, and may do so for half a year. For dyeing cloth the flowers must be used at once. Now is the flowering time for bedstraws, we will tell more about the other members of the family soon.
