Fine picture, Kate! :clap:

I find it interesting that the common English name of Astrantia is 'Masterwort'. Its German counterpart 'Meisterwurz', however, refers to Peucedanum, while Astrantia is called 'Sterndolde' (= 'Star Umbel' ). ;)

Thank you, Kevin. :)

Astrantia from Mediaeval Latin 'magistrantia'(masterwort), magister (master).

Astrantia major is Greater Masterwort, which is what this should be, as it is actually Astrantia major 'Roma'. :doh:

Astrantia from Greek, aster, refers to the starry heads.

I did look up Peucedanum and this also is called Masterwort.
