Nettles have long been symbols of protection and healing, often associated with both painful stings and powerful medicinal properties. Historically this has given the plant a somewhat intimidating reputation. However, beyond their painful nature, nettles are incredibly important for wildlife and biodiversity. Specifically as a food source for the caterpillars of several native butterflies. Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, and Painted Lady.
Whether it’s used in ritual for protection or in a tea to help ease aches and pains, the nettle has long been an important plant in Britain for centuries.
The focal point in this painting, the nettle’s beauty shines through. An important and undervalued plant that is given full recognition within this piece.
