Marjoram, a versatile herb loved by both humans and butterflies alike. Small Tortoiseshell butterflies flutter gracefully on the delicate leaves of this aromatic plant. Marjoram belongs to the family of herbs known as "plantes condimentaires, " adding flavor and fragrance to countless dishes. In nature, we can find two varieties of marjoram: the pink flowered wild marjoram, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare, and the yellow flowered sweet marjoram, also called Origanum majorana. Both species possess unique qualities that make them stand out in their own right. Wild marjoram or oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a robust herb with purple flowers that add a pop of color to any garden. Its strong aroma and taste make it an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. On the other hand, sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana) boasts beautiful yellow flowers and has a milder flavor compared to its wild counterpart, and is often used in teas, soups, stews, and even desserts due to its delightful scent. Marigold's vibrant orange petals complement marjoram's beauty when planted together alongside lavender, mints, savory - creating a stunning herbal ensemble that not only pleases our eyes but also enhances our culinary experiences. Throughout history, artists have captured the essence through engravings like Leonhart Fuchs' depiction titled "Marjoram - Origanum majorana (Amaracus)" from his renowned work De historia stirpium. These illustrations serve as timeless reminders of humanity's fascination with this remarkable herb. Whether you refer to it as organy or simply enjoy calling it by its scientific name Origanum vulgare or Origanum majorana – one thing remains certain: Marjoram holds an esteemed place among herbs for its versatility and ability to elevate any dish with its distinct flavor and aroma.
