Close up of this pretty small flower, with bokeh and copy space. The plant is also known as bloodroot, erect cinquefoil, septfoil and shepherd's knot. Tormentil is quite distinct from other Potentillas in that it has only four petals. Its herbal uses have been for diarrhoea and ulcerative colitis. Extracts from root and herb have been a gargle for throat and mouth, and a lotion for haemorrhoids. Given advances in modern medicine, none of these uses is recommended. Selective focus, plenty of green space for copy. Nature | Horizontal | Outdoors | Image Focus Technique | Selective Focus
