Voodoo and Mark,

Chartreuse is an old and respectable color name. In fact, it comes from the color of the delicious liqueur produced by the Chartreuse Monks.

As a color, it has the remarkable trait of looking good with any other color, even, amazingly enough, yellow.

Never heard of it\them, that's pretty neat.

Now I can go home, I just learned my one thing for the day.

It is very fitting for those of us in the northeast that that picture has rain drops on it. I'm looking forward to reduced calls for plants under guarantee this year!

Plant of the Week 61 is Alchemilla vulgaris , Lady's Mantle.

Many, many people got this right, including jwholden, Greensmith, GLAN, TrickyDick, sleepy, trees, dan deutekom, RottieMommy, 4seasons, Mark Oomkes, Lanelle and BuenPatron.

dan deutekom added that other common names of Lady's Mantle are Lion's Foot, Bear's Foot, Nine Hooks, Leontopodium, and Stellaria (French) Pied-de-lion.

Is POTW61 a Lady's Mantle or a Bear's Foot? You decide...
