Colt's Foot



Colt's Foot

Tussilago farfara

Daisy family

This plant will grow almost anywhere and will flourish in the bleakest spots.  In the past, the leaves, which appear later than the flowers, were smoked in piles for the relief of asthma, and also as a medicinal infusion for coughs and bronchitis. 

The freshly bruised leaves were applied to boils, abscesses and suppurating ulcers.



Found by burn near 6th green in 1990s. It's very common and can be found all over the course.
