Very nice to see this plant again, in India I know this plant as Jacob's ladder, quite popular to plant as a perennial in woodlands , it come bursts forth after snow melts...
Do you have pictures of the leaves? Since the name of this plant is mythological ; story is Jacob dreamt of a ladder with alternate rungs in a ladder- like contraption, rising from ground and going skyward allll...lll the way up to the heavens... the leaves are arranged as if they are forming this ladder of Jacob's dreams... I always loved this myth... a tiny plant ascribed duty to carry one heavenwards... Interesting mix of medicinal claims, if they can be verified by modern science...
