Sitch flower plant

Greater stitchwort is a delight to see in spring on hedge banks, woodland glades and margins on neutral to slightly acidic soils. A fragile plant with delicate stems and narrow pointed leaves, it grows among other plants such as grasses and woody hedge plants for support, its white star-like flowers standing out against the green leaves of its support group.

First formally recorded by William Turner in 1562 1. , greater stitchwort was once used as a herbal remedy for shortness of breath or a pain (stitch) in the side of the abdomen, hence the name ‘stitchwort’. 2. Its importance as a remedy was recognised by Thomas Tusser and included in his list of physic herbs to grow in the garden in the sixteenth century. 3. Greater stitchwort has over 140 alternative names including: star flower, star-of-the-wood, sailor buttons, bachelors’ buttons, poor man’s buttonhole, brandy snap and snap-wort, the last two names referring to the children’s pastime of popping the ripe seed pods. 4.

Greater stitchwort will light up a shady patch in the garden, along the margin of hedge or fence with other late spring-flowering plants for support. Due to its initially fragile nature, it is best raised by seed in a seed bed and grown on to a healthy 9cm pot size before planting out, or alternatively buy nursery-raised plants. Once established this lovely plant will not disappoint.

Greater stitchwort is beneficial to many flying insects, including bees, beetles, flies and spring-flying butterflies such as orange-tip Anthocharis cardamines and green-veined white Pieris napi. It is the host plant for the gall midge Macrolabis holosteae and larval food plant of several moth species including the twin-spot carpet moth Mesotype didymata, the nationally scarce cloaked carpet moth Euphyia biangulata and the leaf-mining micro moths Caryoculum huebneri and C. blandella. 5.

A similar-looking relative is the lesser stitchwort Stellaria graminea, a more slender and upright plant found in grassland. Also related is the commonly found chickweed Stellaria media which is likely to find its own way to most gardens.

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Magic Treehouse Merlon Missions" book.

Additionally, I found the characters to be quite flat and lacking depth. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend this book to other fans of the series.

2. Mike - 1/5 stars - I cannot express my disappointment with "Magic Treehouse Merlon Missions". The plot was incredibly weak and predictable. The dialogue between the characters felt forced and unnatural. I also found the pacing of the story to be off, with the action scenes feeling rushed and the quieter moments dragging on. I had high expectations for this book, given the reputation of the Magic Treehouse series, but it fell flat on all accounts. I would not recommend wasting your time with this particular installment.

3. Jessica - 2/5 stars - As an adult reader, I was looking forward to revisiting the Magic Treehouse series with "Merlon Missions", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The writing style was simplistic and didn't engage me like it did when I was a child. The plot felt shallow and lacked any real depth or complexity. Additionally, I was disappointed by the lack of character development, especially in the main protagonist Jack. Overall, this book felt like a missed opportunity to reignite my love for the series, and I would not recommend it to fellow adult readers.

4. David - 3/5 stars - "Magic Treehouse Merlon Missions" was an okay addition to the series, but it didn't captivate me as much as the earlier books did. The story felt repetitive and lacked the element of surprise that made the previous books so enjoyable. However, I did appreciate the historical elements woven into the plot, which is always a strong point of the Magic Treehouse series. If you're a die-hard fan, you might still find some enjoyment in this book, but overall, it didn't live up to the hype for me.
