Is the little sleeping cap awake, is Gretel still waiting in the bush for her beloved? Or the dwarfs, are they still washing themselves in the little wash basin? And what about Good Heinrich, with shepherd's purse, liverworts, and pansies? Why are the plants named that way? Many names originate from the Middle Ages, are related to superstition, and have been passed down from old books, songs, and images. Many were long forgotten but are now back in vogue in the kitchen - like wild garlic, garlic mustard, and nasturtium.
