Superstition & Plants: Heather

White heather

Heather is a small bush which grows on open windy land and has small purple, pink or white flowers. People connect heather with Scotland where the mountainsides are purple with heather in the autumn. White heather is said to be lucky and gypsies sometimes try to sell it. Gypsies also used to sell clothes pegs for good luck.
