Beautiful water avens (Geum rivale) also known as ‘chocolate root’ with its drooping purple-jacketed peach-petalled flowers looking like funky vintage lampshades on the stream’s edge
.
Like its cousin wood avens (known as clove root), water avens also has strongly flavoured and aromatic roots??
.
This riverside dweller’s roots can be used to make a chocolatey drink or as a seasoning ?
.
Best harvested in the spring or autumn, though can be used all year round – but remember you *must* have landowner permission before uprooting any plant in the wild ♡?
.
Swipe for flower close-up ?
