Plant of the Day
Monday 6 July 2020
In recent weeks Galium verum (lady's bedstraw, bed flower, cheese rennet, fenwort, hundredfold, maid's hair, petty mugget, rennet weed, yellow bedstraw) has been featuring in agricultural fields and in gardens. The 'frothy' flowers form pools of yellow in fields and this stoloniferous perennial is part of the matrix of plants in the Dry Meadow, Cambridge Botanic Garden.
