Really? Didn't know that either. Thanks for info. Goin to put it in the medicinal plants mission then.
Oh...here we go suddenly :D Thanks a lot, missjellyfishy :)
In Europe it is called Tetterwort, just read
It grows everywhere here in our garden - appears to be pretty common...shame on us not being able to identify :)
Lars, I spotted the same plant in my backyard just yesterday. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is so I guess we have to wait until it shows some flowers before we can id it properly.
