LADY'S BEDSTRAW

And today's flower: A fizz of yellow amongst the grass - Lady's Bedstraw (Galium verum). 

The tiny flowers are bunched together and rather more showy than its cousin goosegrass (Galium aparine).

There is also a white version called hedge bedstraw (Galium mollugo).

'Bedstraw' because it contains coumarin, which gives a perfume similar to new mown hay, if the dried foliage is placed in your bed linen.
