EDITORS COMMENTS
Asperula Suberosa, commonly known as Woodruff, is a beautiful and historic perennial plant belonging to the Rubiaceae family. In this image from Mary Evans Prints Online, we find Asperula Suberosa thriving in a rocky setting, its delicate pink flowers adding a burst of color and charm to the rugged terrain. The Rubiaceae family, to which Woodruff belongs, is one of the largest botanical families, with over 60,000 known species. The name Rubiaceae comes from the Latin word 'rubus,' meaning red, a reference to the red color often found in the fruits of many members of this family. Asperula Suberosa is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and has been cultivated for its fragrant leaves and edible rhizomes since ancient times. The plant was highly valued in medieval Europe for its use in perfumes, and was even used as a substitute for saffron in cooking. In horticulture, Woodruff is often grown in rockeries or alpine gardens due to its preference for well-drained, rocky soil. Its small, pink flowers bloom in early summer, and its creeping rhizomes help to spread the plant gently over the ground. This photograph, with its focus on the natural beauty of Asperula Suberosa in a rocky setting, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this historic and charming plant. Whether admired in a garden or in a photograph, Woodruff continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the rich history and diversity of the natural world.
