Meadowsweet is one of the most prolific of summer wild flowers found in the hedgerows of Connemara and throughout Ireland. Its fluffy cream coloured blossoms have a delicate fragrant scent, so reminiscent of summertime. A French visitor of ours collected the blossoms for drying to make a “tisane” or herbal tea, but we never got to taste it! The meadowsweet and purple loosetrife are often found growing together, where they make a gorgeous display of colour.
