Lady’s Mantle, or Alchemilla, has often been thought to have magical and medicinal powers. One is that the droplets captured by the tiny hairs in it’s leaves will remove wrinkles! It’s very hardy, thrives in Maine’s climate, and will grow in the shade or partial sun. The tiny flower clusters are chartreuse, very appealing.
