Thyme Please

A perennial in the mint family of plants, thyme is a small, attractive herb with a plethora of small white, pink, or lilac flowers-this is obviously the lilac variety. Incredibly, there are more than 350 known species of thyme, undoubtedly because they hybridize so easily.

Ancient Greeks used thyme for incense - in fact its name originally meant "to fumigate." And the Romans added it to their cheese and alcohol as a remedy for melancholy. They both considered thyme an herb able to impart courage and energy, and used it with roses to sweeten the smell of their homes.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”
Maya Angelou
