Today I researched Mugwort on the net and immediately recognise one kind as the bush that grows in our back court!! Purple stem, green leaf with a kind of fluffy/cotton flower at the top of each stock. I'm sure it's mugwort....maybe zaf can advise.....? The thing is, I thought it would probably have some kind of aroma but it doesn't, just a leafy grassy smell. Mmmmmmm???? I'd hate to poison myself!!

Are the plants about 2'6 - 3' high? The description sounds right

If you google mugwort images you'll see several decent pictures of the plant, it doesnt smell of much till its dried and burnt
-
Yes, zaf they are about 3'. Do they have an aroma?
-
Not really, not till dried and burnt, if you google mugwort images there are some good photos.
I pick the top 18" or so off the top of each plant, dry them then tie them into smudge sticks

+-_I will smoke it in a cannabis pipe!! "£$ But I'll burnt it first and see what happens
-
You need to pick it before it flowers if you can
I've never smoked it I find it works well burnt as a smudge stick or on a charcoal burner, it might be very strong smoked :o
-
I think it smels pretty awful!
-
Now that I know what it looks like, I seen loads of it today down by the river.
-
I saw a fair bit driving home from picking Jade up, if I hadnt been in traffic on an A road I'd have taken pictures for you :)
Whenever I pick herbs etc I try to avoid main roads for obvious reasons, down by the river sounds a good source as long as you avoid the bits dogs might pee up ;)
-
Yes, I was very aware of the dog pee!!
-
:D I am too ;)
