Mugwort
Artemesia vulgaris

Mugwort is quite common right now, just springing up among the earliest leaves and its dried stalks from last year.  This invasive "weed" is a very interesting and important member of a very interesting and important genus.

Our local Mugwort is related to the cultivated members of the genus like Wormwood and Sweet Annie, to the western members of the genus known as Sagebush, and  to the Asian species like those used in Moxa.

There is much to be said about these plants, named after the goddess of women's health: Artemis.
