The genus Thymus contains about 350 species of aromatic perennial herbaceous plants and subshrubs in the family Lamiaceae, native to temperate regions in Europe, North Africa and Asia.
Several members of the genus are cultivated as culinary herbs or ornamentals, when they are also called thyme after its best-known species, Thymus vulgaris.
Thyme adds a distinctive aromatic flavoring to sauces, stews, stuffings, meats, poultry - almost anything from soup to salad. In medieval times, the plant symbolized courage, and to keep up their spirits, knights departing for the Crusades received scarves embroidered with a sprig of thyme from their ladies. There was a popular belief, too, that a leaf tea prevented nightmares, while another held that tea made of thyme and other herbs enabled one to see nymphs and fairies. Herbalists of the Middle Ages regarded thyme as a stimulant and antispasmodic, and recommended sleeping on thyme and inhaling it as a remedy for melancholy and epilepsy.
In 1725, a German apothecary discovered that the plant's essential oil contains a powerful disinfectant called thymol that is effective against bacteria and fungi. Thymol also acts as a expectorant, loosening phlegm in the respiratory tract. Later herbalists listed thyme for these uses and as remedy for numerous other complaints, including diarrhoea and fever. They prescribed the oil externally as an antiseptic for fungal infections such as athlete's foot.
Butterflies and bees absolutely love the flowers of thyme.
Actually I meant "Thyme in Hail"
My planter box of herbs in the garden is filled with hail stones !
Opened the curtains this morning to find the back yard blanketed in a layer of hailstones - a rare sight here in our temperate climate.
"Time in Hell" refers to the 2 hour delay on a return flight from the St. Louis last night; flights destined to SFO were grounded due to the late season squalls that made landing at the airport dangerous. Finally made it home about midnite...
when i bought this, the person at the store said it would turn the color of leaves in autumn. i waited, waited and gave up, but it finally turned the color.
A sixteenth century tower, and other buildings, with the most famous twentieth century garden in England. Sissinghurst garden is a prime example of the Arts and Crafts style. The garden was made on the site of a medieval manor and some structures survive. Harold Nicolson, a diplomat and author, laid down the main lines of the Sissinghurst design in the 1930s. Vita Sackville-West, a poet, a garden writer and Harold's wife, took responsibility for the planting at Sissinghurst garden. She worked as an 'artist-gardener'. Her planting design was brilliant. The historical importance of Sissinghurst Castle Garden comes from its role in transmitting Gertrude Jekyll's design philosophy to a host of visitors. The most famous and influential feature of Sissinghurst is the White Garden. It exemplified and popularised Jekyll's idea of using colour themes in planting design.http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-sissinghurstcastlegarden/

Besides creating an easy-to-maintain and water conserving ground cover, thyme also served additional purposes. In the days prior to embalming techniques, the plant masked - um - "odors" which could be present. Waking on it also creates a fragrance that is comforting and pleasant for visitors.
