On a ramble in pine bogs it is worth looking for the Labrador tea (Ledum palustre): in spring its white umbels flowered so richly that the pungent smell was dizzying. What now, is the plant still recognisable from its smell? Yes, it is. The lower leaves have already gone beautifully reddish now. Those who want to use it as a healing herb should pick the tops of the plants just now at the end of summer, now that the Labrador tea is less toxic.
