One of my favourite wildflowers:
Foxglove - Digitalis
The common name has nothing to do with foxes. It's a corruption of the phrase 'folks' gloves' - fairy folk were said to use flowers as gloves. The Latin, digitalis, refers to the flowers' finger- or digit-like shape.
Most foxgloves are biennials, which means you sow the seed one year; they flower, die and scatter seed the next. Also be aware that all parts of the plant are highly toxic if eaten, but handling them isn't a problem.
Geranium
Essential oil of Geranium useful for hormonal balancing but to be avoided in pregnancy. 🙂
Helichrysum - other names Immortelle, everlasting, St John's herb.
good for allergies and inflamed conditions. Also good for liver and spleen congestion.

Iris is a genus of between 200-300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers which takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, Iris is also very widely used as a common name and refers to all Iris species as well as some closely related genera. It is the state flower of Tennessee.
