Bach Flower Remedies without an A in their names

The other day RHS posted on Threads asking people to name plants that don’t have the letter ‘a’ in their name. I’m really not sure why, but it set our minds going here thinking about the Bach Flower Remedies which don’t use the letter ‘a’.

Well, it turns out that 17 of the 38 Bach Remedies have no ‘a’ in their name. If you were wondering which ones they are, to save you working it out, they are:

Beech, Cherry Plum, Chestnut Bud, Chicory, Elm, Gorse, Holly, Mimulus, Olive, Pine, Red Chestnut, Rock Rose, Sweet Chestnut, Vine, White Chestnut, Wild Rose & Willow!
