thanks grzbear, I picked up some hawthorn today at the health food store until I can buy some somewhere else that is cheaper. I was quite surprised at the high price of it. I don't remember it being this expensive before.

I get the 500g bags for about $13 from a discount HF Store where I live.
I get the berries and grind them myself OR the hawthorn berry powder.
I have never used the flowers/leaves, but may one of these days... I understand the whole plant is beneficial for BP among other cardiovascular related issues.
