As kids this was one of our favorite herbs (Western Europe), when you get stung by stinging nettles or bitten by ants, rubbing the bruised leaves of this herb on the irritated skin soothes the pain. https://www.botanischetuinen.nl/nl/plant/643/hondsdraf (Dutch) https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/8034/glechoma-hederacea/details. Invasive in North America, but plenty of medicinal uses. #herbs #nature #plantphotography #pnw #britishcolumbia #glechomaheredacea

Bearberry manzanita (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) at Point Reyes National Seashore!

This low-growing species is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but is rare in California. In Eastern Canada and USA it's known as kinnikinnick, and is a part of some traditional smoking mixtures.

In California it tends to inhabit coastal bluffs at a few locations from Monterey County North. There is also a small population on San Bruno Mountain. I have only seen it a handful of times, it seems not to be able to handle much grazing by cattle. At this location it only survived at very edge of the bluff!
