Yerba Mansa

The dull, lightless days continue and yet again I am struggling to find a subject to test my new Lumix LX7...

Until the postman brought me Yerba Mansa roots, from the States. This is an extremely powerful medicinal herb. It won't grow outside in the UK climate, so I am going to pot up my five roots and keep some in the house and some in the greenhouse, see how they fare.

It would be brilliant if I could grow this herb, not available in the UK so far, and produce tinctures of it.
