  1. I love yarrow 🙂

  2. Next time I plan to fire-eat, I’ll give chewing yarrow a try! Yarrow comes in such pretty colors. We have yellow and white, but I don’t think I’ve seen that blue before.

    • They are white with a light blue that shows up, depending on the angle of the light. I know they tend to be yellow in the mid-west.

      • I have some white in my front yard in New England. They seeded there, and I looked more carefully in the sun, and you are right, they do appear bluish from the side. I learned something new today, thanks!

  3. Truly beautiful images! Is that some kind of insect on the top of the bloom?
