Common Rue

Mum loved this herb and used it when cooking mung beans.  She grew it at home until Dad noticed that he got a rash every time he touched the leaves, so the bush was transplanted to my garden.  Both Mum and Dad have passed away, but the rue continues to grow.

"Here did she fall a tear, here in this place
I'll set a bank of rue, sour herb of grace." Richard II, Shakespeare
