|
Cowslips grow in grassy places such as fields and roadsides.
The deep yellow flowers grow in clusters at the top of a
long stalk. They are 10-15mm across and have 5 petals each
with an orange spot at its base.
The leaves are oval-shaped and wrinkled and they form a
rosette on the ground.
The flowers are used in herbal medicine to make tea which
can be used as a sedative, or to make cowslip wine. |
