Pink Rockrose
According to mythology, when the Gods on Mount Olympus determined which plants would be healing, they decided that Rockrose would heal the warriors who had been wounded in action. This bothered the Goddesses, because they were sure that the plant with the delicate pink flowers would be more suitable for beauty – internally and externally. The result was that both qualities were given to Rockrose, healing and cosmetic ones. More info
