Regarding Calendula, one of the flowers in our bunches this week... "It is useful on all external skin problems and injuries but especially those that are red, tender, and oozing. It will also help to heal burns, bruises, and sprains. It decreases swelling, clears infection, speeds tissue regeneration, and prevents scarring."

ANISE HYSSOP: "Herb lovers claim it as a culinary herb, using the fresh or dried leaves in tea and crumbling the tangy flowers over fruit salad — but the wildflower books list it as a native wildflower of north-central North America."
