Aster – Michaelmas Daisy
Towards the end of summer and as the weather turns colder and most flowers are fading you then find Michaelmas Daisies growing in the wild, it is quite amazing that the colour range is from white, pink, blue and lavender. The plant itself was introduced to Britain from North America in the early 1700’s and although they are not native to the country they survive very well. They can be used in herbal teas, fresh in salads and used to garnish food, they also have several health benefits and have traditionally been used in the treatment of skin problems, pain, fevers and diarrhoea, although I don’t think I would try any of these treatments myself.
