Post Have I found Athleas?
on: December 10, 2015 03:04
I have found several clusters of a plant that no one can seem to identify. It has a sweet, strong smell, and many star like flowers. It seems to be a perfect copy of athleas, and I can't seem to find out what it is, it has thin leaves and stems, yet they are very stiff! What could this plant be?

Have you got a photo? What country do you live in? It is not known what sort of flower athelas had. See http://www.councilofelrond.com/encyclopedia/athelas-2/

Since it is winter here, I had to find pictures on the net. Here is what the general plant looked like, and what the flowers looked like. Another fun fact- I can't figure out how to kill it! It always comes back!ImageImage

When an address starts with the word 'file' it means it's on your machine. No-one else can access it. You have to upload the file to an image hosting site (flickr, photobucket, postimg for example)and then link to it. Sites provide the address of the image to copy. You will need the BBcode which has square brackets. PM me if you need any help.

Or you could just give the address of the website where you found the pics.
