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!

      Thanks - they are not particularly fragrant. I use them in big bouquets of lilies.

    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!

    Such a beautiful bright red colored flower.
    I planted red yarrow, two years ago! They will probably bloom in about three weeks. I love them!
    Thanks for sharing

    Yarrow fascinates me because it comes in so many different colors.

    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?

    Ohh yes! I have the plant oracle of druids and yarrow is one of the cards also! I can't wait to see pictures of your new oracle system! :)
