The perennial Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, anise, garden myrrh, great chervil, sweet bracken, sweet fern, sweet Mary) is distinguished by the white marks on the leaves. The foliage and stems are aniseed-scented, and the white umbel flowers are followed by dark spindle-shaped fruits.

Someone on my server said that we need more buff elves so I must use my skill to enrich the lives of others.

Meet Myrrhis, a herbalist and mountaineer. She finds and sells rare floras, for medicine and for goooooood time. She is a recycled design from a dnd character I had, the campaign ended prematurely so I didn't get to take that character anywhere so now her essence live in this character instead lol

These deep-maroon purple flowers edged with white may well be the cultivar Tulipa 'Jackpot' or Tulipa ‘Alexander Pushkin’ (tulip). These blooms seemed a great plant association with the aniseed-scented perennial Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, myrrh, sweet bracken, sweet chervil, sweet fern, sweet Mary) contrasting both form and colour.

The white umbel flowers of Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, anise, British myrrh, great chervil, sweet bracken, sweet fern) are over now but the seed heads make a feature in the wild garden

In a sheltered corner of the Marengo Garden, Orkney, the Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, anise, garden myrrh, great chervil, sweet bracken, sweet fern, sweet Mary) is flowering. This umbellifer can be recognised by the occasional white splash on some of the leaves which are both sweet to the taste and have the flavour of aniseed.
