Pertinax 3 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share you have the "blue" variant here, which contains limonene and gallic acid amongst others, its folk use was for dysentry. Quote Link to comment
Lost_Warrior 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Actually I think the blue is simply a trick of light. It was white, maybe ever so slightly bluer than pure white. I've also seen it in pink and purple. Quote Link to comment

Lost_Warrior 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Is canadian the pinkish purple I've seen? This really does repel insects. I had some pesky flies buzzing around my head until I stuck some of this in my hair Quote Link to comment

Yes the Canadian variant is described as pink-ive never seen it , it is confined to your American ecosystem. Quote Link to comment
Lost_Warrior 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Oh I see. Well if I find some of that I'll take a pic for you! For the most part all I've seen around here is the white. I always thought that the different colors were due to different minerals in the soil...certain plants grow different colors in different places (for example "blue eyed grass" is often magenta! I have pictures of both the blue and magenta varieties I'll post them later) Quote Link to comment
