I hope it is for memory.


I haven't been taking any so I have forgotten what it is .....

Comfrey? It has crinkly leaves and pink/lavender flowers.

I am a silly bunt. I have half a dozen comfrey, and this is the only one
that is in flower. Thank you.


What do you use your comfrey for Billy? I know it's leaves are supposed to
be a compost accelerant and also that the roots can be used as a healing
compress, but all I ever seem to do with mine is to use the leaves as mulch.
