TXA note from Ginger:
Super super common in the Texas Hill Country, this plant like so many others in the Spurge Family is not foraged by wild animals, so there is almost always some nearby to harvest. I enjoy hanging one in my car in the summer months, when the sun heats it up and the aroma is delightful. As a tea, I suggest using only the leaves and making sure you do not include seeds in the mix.
