Yarrow.  Native. Not Native.  Achillea borealis of A. millifolium. There is more to this plant than you think.  It is native throughout the northern hemisphere, but as one might suppose there are molecular differences among those locations.  Here, in North America, you can get the European variety, the North American variety, and hybrids there of.   In the Mid-Atlantic I have noticed that it isn't that attractive a plant for bees, yes there are some, but largely it is ignored.  I talk to other hunters of bees on flowers and they tell tales of an abundance of bee visitations.  Could be poor observation skills by us collectors, local conditions, or perhaps the impact of where it has come from makes a difference.  Specimens and photos by Helen Lowe Metzman.      

Silver pouring form with bunched blackthorn assembled with loose loops of vintage red Irish linen thread trailing from the binding. The silver form is hand raised, hammered and quenched for a white surface. #vessel #pouringvessel #assembled #gathered #bunched #blackthorn #foraged #hedgerow #senseofplace #landscape #binding #loops #linenthread #hammeredsilver #handraised #silversmithing #hammered #contemporarysilver #contemporarycraft #metalwork #metalsmith #contemporaryinteriors #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #irishart #irishartist #hollowware #sculptural https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJlgYrF2Ev/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sbknbclgcjql
