Betony (Betonica officinalis) near Park Village
A member of the deadnettle family, renamed recently from Stachys officinalis, betony’s bright magenta pink flowers make striking splashes of colour from early summer to well into autumn.
"He shall know the velvet leaves and yellow spike of the old dowager, mullein, recognise the whole company of thistles, and greet the relatives of the nettle, wound-wort and hore-hound, yellow rattle, betony, bugle and archangel."
From the prose poem, 'All these I learnt' by Robert Byron (1905-1941)
