Botanical name: Thalictrum foliolosum Family: Ranunculaceae (Buttercup family)
Once upon a time, the newborn infant was placed upon a pillow filled
with Meadow-Rue to ensure a prosperous life. Thalictrum means “to
flourish,” and it does, with elegant foamlike sprays that resemble
Baby’s Breath, and rounded, finely cut, compound foliage. Leaves are
broader than long, deeply rounded lobed, lobes with rounded teeth. Flowers
yellowish white, tinged with pink, in lax branched clusters at the end
of branches. It is used in several eye disorders.
