Tussilago




Is Spring finally here ?

I passed by some tiny sweet Tussilago farfara flowers yesterday during my morning walk with the dogs.
Or Coldfoot as they are called in English.
I am not the nostalgic type but Tussilago makes me nostalgic. It brings me back to my childhood collecting the first flowers for my mother.
To me this is a fantastic sign of the first days of Spring and some good days to come.
Did you know that the flower is used in cough medicine and that tussis means cough ?
In China this herb is called Warming herb.
It warms my heart !

Foreward and onwards ......
