Fun fact is that meadowsweet contains salicylic acid. While the contemporary botanical name of its genus is Filipendula, it used to be called Spiraea, which gave its name to... Aspirin. Second fun fact is that you also find this organic compound in willow (genus Salix), which gave the name to salicylic acid.

There is something about the smell of meadowsweet that has always been mysteriously appealing and charming to me. I can keep my nose sniffing the buds for minuts, being brought back to vague childhood memories visiting the pharmacy with my grandmother.

#Selfcare with plants. I'm awfully exhausted right now. But there's still a plant blooming in my garden that's a friend to me. You can talk to flowers and they chatter with their scent.
