Yarrow

Mystical Yarrow.
I Ching. What will you foretell?
The fate in your stars.



Here is a link to information about using yarrow sticks/stems to do I Ching. I will collect sticks in the fall.







I am linking this post with Floral Friday Fotos and Haiku My Heart~ Check out these cool memes - lots of great people and interesting posts!

  3. Love seeing those big bunches of flowers... in different shades too! Does the same flower transition into different colors. I have a rose which starts out as whitish pink and goes on to become dark orange!

  17. Love your photo and the idea of doing iChing with the sticks in the fall. I guess I haven't had personal experience of yarrow. Is it fragrant? Does it have medicinal properties besides just being beautiful?
