2) Name this herb.
The native habitats of this herb are wide indeed, covering the temperate and northern parts of Europe, Siberia, and North America. It has a long history of use in the kitchen, with some recipes from China going back at least 5,000 years. Rumanian Gypsies used it as part of their fortune telling rituals, and when dried bunches were hung in the house it was believed to drive away disease and evil influences.
   It is a hardy, fast growing herb in the lily family, having clusters of usually pink to purple edible flowers and is cultivated for its long slender leaves.  This herb is used in salad dressings, herb butters and vinegars, soups, stews, and croquettes. The flowers are also edible, and make a nice addition to salads.
   It contains significant amounts of Vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, iron, and sulfur. It is believed to strengthen nails and teeth, and has antibiotic properties.  It is said to be an appetite stimulant, relieve high blood pressure, and is a natural insect repellent. It inhibits mildew, and is used in feed for turkey hatchlings.
