Flowering Thyme

In the European Middle Ages, women would often give knights and warriors gifts that
included Thyme leaves, as it was believed to bring courage to the bearer. Today, the
leaves are used as an herb in many culinary dishes, giving roasted meats, vegetables
and even apples a delicious flavour. In medicinal use, Oil of Thyme, the essential oil
of common Thyme, has many common antiseptic uses.
During early to mid summer, small flowers grow in clusters around the tips of the
branches, enchanting the herb with the lovely scent of a new beginning.
