Bach Larch Flower: the ally of self-confidence
Bach Larch Flower contains aqueous extracts of Common larch, also known as European larch. It's also known as European larch, common larch or Briançon pine. Its scientific name is Larix Decidua.
This is a very special tree, as it is Europe's only deciduous conifer. It does have needles, like the others, but they don't manage to "persist" all year round: bright green in spring, they darken in summer, take on a beautiful golden-yellow hue in autumn, then finally fall off... The larch covers itself with needles again during the many springs of its life: in the right conditions (it likes sunshine and cool, moist soil), it can live up to five hundred years. It grows rather slowly, but can eventually exceed thirty meters in height in the wild. As for its bark, it is grey in color and may have numerous cracks.
Many people choose to dwarf Larix decidua in pots: its yellow (male flowers) or pink (female flowers) flowers are very popular with bonsai enthusiasts.
