Sticklewort (also known as agrimony or church steeples) traditionally symbolizes "thankfulness" or "gratitude." Its fragrant yellow flowers bloom throughout the summer months. It can grow as high as 40" tall, in such areas as meadows, forest edges, pastures, and river banks. It is used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and other diseases. Parts of the plant are used to make teas, infusions, bath soaks, mouthwash and topical preparations.
