| 説明 | An old English passage talks about Rue, this was on a plaque in Kew Gardens. If you see an 'f' without the cross through it, it's actually an S.I hadn't heard of the Rue plant before seeing this passage on a wall, but I took the liberty of researching it and paraphrasing the information I found to appear smarter than I actually am. * The Rue flower, at its prime, was one of the most used plants. It was used for almost everything.* Its name means "strongly smelling" in Latin. It has nothing to do with the English regret.* Its branches were used by priests to sprinkle holy water. * It was used as a cooking herb in ancient Rome.* If there is a drought on, this plant doesn't care.* It's the national flower of Lithuania.* A rue plant can live for hundreds of years.* It plays an important role in weddings.* It was believed to * * refresh the mouth,* * cure hysteria,* * help with gout,* * act as a painkiller,* * fix bee stings and spider bites,* * and be viagra.* It was often used as a salad dressing.* It was used as beer flavoring.* It was used in fish sauces.* In Italy it is used for flavouring brandy and liquors. |
