Sympathy

Angelica Archangelica (asa Garden Angelica, Holy Ghost, Wild Celery, Norwegia angelica)

One of our few really close friends has a terribly ill family member.
We really sympathize and we wish we could do something to help.
Life can be so beautiful but it can be difficult as well.

Angelica archangelica

It looks like the Angelica is going to be a great succes this year.
We had it for years but it was strugling and it never flowered before.
Last autumn we gave it a new spot in a really wet part of our garden.
We added lots of compost and now it looks like its flipping!

Angelica is native to Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, the Faerous and Finland.
In Norway it was such a valued plant that according to Gulathing's law (11th century) a tenant farmer was allowed to take this plant with him.

It's a beautiful plant (loved by insects) but look out, especially with childeren.
The plant has a photosensitive juice wich will cause burning to the skin and mouth if exposed to light.
