Yarrow Bouquet

Oil painting on linen canvas.

You can find Yarrow along roadsides, in fields, waste areas, and... in our gardens. It is native to Eurasia, and our bees and butterflies love it. Achillea (Millefolia) is in reference to Achilles, hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant medicinally to stop bleeding and to heal the wounds of his soldiers.
