Herb Robert. Herb Robert has its own unique aroma and sometimes appears bright red - earning one of its names as ‘Dragon Blood’. Its leaves have a unique pattern and have been used for astringent purposes as a poultice. Has found treatment for diarrhoea, gastritis, enteritis, gout and blood hemorrhage. The Robert after which this wild flower is named is not recorded. In the language of flowers it says ‘steadfast devotion’ - ‘I am your slave’.
