geranium and peppermint
Plant folkelore and history?
look up the book Magic and Medicine of Plants Reader's Digest both plants you asked about are in there but too much for me to type...
Reply:geranium - The name Geranium comes from the Greek word "geranos" which means crane. It refers to the long skinny seed pod that looks like a crane's beak. see first two links
peppermint - The first commercially cultivation of mint in the United States occurred in western Massachusetts in the 1790s.
Two prominent 19th century mint growers/dealers - Hiram G. Hotchkiss of Lyons, New York and A, M. Todd of Michigan - were known in their respective states as "Peppermint Kings."
