    Torpeen or house-leek grow on very few houses around here. It grows mostly on thatched houses.
    There is a great cure in it for sick calves. It is how you boil it and strain the milk or water that you boiled it in and give it to the calf.
    A lovely pink flower comes out of it in Summer time.
