If you live in a climate where Achillea millefolium grows, then you’re probably beginning to see her delicate blooms everywhere you look!

Meet the Yarrow Fairy:

Among the harebells and the grass,

The grass all feathery with seed,

I dream, and see the people pass:

They pay me little heed.

 

And yet the children (so I think)

In spite of other flowers more dear,

Would miss my clusters white and pink,

If I should disappear.
