Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria)

This grows in profusion at Turn Hill. It has a scent a bit like apricots, and it's said that if you place it under your pillow you'll sleep til it's removed!

'If it be leyd under mann's heed,
He shal sleepyn as he were deed;
He shal never drede ne wakyn
Till fro under his heed it be takyn.'

It's also supposed to protect you from witchcraft!
Nice capture. Not sure I'd want it under my pillow. :-)

@koalagardens then you'd probably sleep for 100 years until a handsome Prince came along to awake you with a kiss ;-)
