| Marsh Cinquefoil. Dyes were produced from the roots and flowers in days gone by and the leaves are reputed to be good for making tea. |

| Also known as Marsh Five Fingers. Related to the Wild Strawberry. A great scource of nectar for bees. |

| Common Cotton-grass...........a member of the sedge family and not a grass. |
I don't think I have ever knowingly seen Marsh Cinquefoil John. Now that I see that it is good for making tea, I may suggest that the RSPB group makes a visit as some are very interested in the tea drinking side of things! Cheers.
