Spelling = parsley - le persil (not parsil)

anonymous , United Kingdom

Can you help me? I have some herb salt from France. One of the herbs is called "liveche" What's this in English? Thanks

anonymous , United States

Tilleul: not the citrus, but the linden tree or lime tree

anonymous London, United Kingdom

What is manne en larme and mauve. They are ingredients in a herbal tea I can’t find the meaning

anonymous , France

I know this is an old post, but I have Liviche in my garden - it's related to celery.

anonymous , Belgium

‘Bay leaf’ or ‘bay leaves’, not ‘bay leave’

anonymous Denver, United States

Mauve and guimauve are mallow.
Herbes de Provence, not herbs.
