Your site is easy to use and one of the best sites we accidently found. Looking for help in listing and descriptions of plants/herbs from the Canary Islands and Spain.

Olen sillointällöin kuullut mainittavan sivustoistasi ja työstäsi, mutta jotenkin en ole löytänyt aikaa tutustua siihen. Vihdoin tänään löysin riemukseni tien puutarhaasi ja sen mielenkiintoisiin resepteihin, -maltan tuskin odottaa ensi kesää!
Suurkiitos ja onnea tulevaisuuteen.

Hi Henrietta,
Just to say that I have been enjoying your website since 1999, it's a great site and long may it last. Keep up the photos, the links and all the other stuff.

Hi there, I'd just like to say thanks for your site, i've loved reading it and will no doubt return, i have a keen interest and slight knowledge in herbology myself. But i have found things here which have been of great use to me. Many thanks. Blessings.

Dear Henriette--
You have a wonderful website--I found it while looking for info and photos of Impatiens glandulifera Royle. I found it growing up to seven feet high at the edge of moist woodlands in mid-coast Maine. I realized that it was a type of Jewelweed--lovely pale pink to deep rose flowers. It took me a while to learn its scientific name.
Photos of it on your web page are lovely. It was growing quite lushly. I was surprised to learn that this attractive plant is considered a bad weed in many places. I took home a pretty bouquet, and set it on my dining room table. Imagine my dismay when, next morning, it had exploded its seed pods and table and floor were a mess, with hundreds of sticky seeds all over table and floor! Next time, I'll remember to nip off the seed pods--it does make a beautiful wildflower bouquet.

Thanks! Although I think it smells bad, which is why I don't take it indoors.
Hi Henriette!
I am from the foragers group and really respect your comments.
Thanks!
Having time I'll check details since we produce a lot of varieties and I'll be glad to check names and photos too
Thanks!
Great site of course. I do wonder what problem you seem to have with M. Moore [the twit]. Over here he seems to only annoy those on the extreme 'right' with his humor. Granted he isn't the great herbalist, M. Moore and perhaps the distinction is necessary but calling the documentary commedian twit without explanation begs one. What's up?
Personal antipathy.
This site is need for todays world. very nice site.

Hi I read on your site about:
False aloe is reputed laxative and carminative, and has been beneficially employed in obstinate diarrhoea, flatulency, spasm of the intestines, etc.
I was wondering if you knew where I could buy this as a digestive herb?
I believe it will help with my stomach spasms.
That's nice. Now go and re-read the top bit of the classic text that you've found. Yes, the one where it says "King's American Dispensatory". See the number on the second row? That's the year the book was published.
