Lady's-mantle

Alchemilla vulgaris, commonly known as padelion and lady's mantle, is a herbaceous perennial plant, native to Europe and introduced to the US. These perennial wildflowers, members of the family Rosaceae, are sometimes grown in gardens - mainly for their aerial parts, as they can be harvested and used in the making of herbal infusions.

Lady's mantle is commonly seen in unimproved or lightly fertilized grassland, on roadside verges and banks, in chalk downland and on mountain slopes.
