Flowers tell a story, the way music does. When you study them, observe their comings and goings, and see how you get in your yard or garden, or in the nearby woods, unexpected flowers seemingly coming down from heaven, and how butterflies and bees live in a world of flowers, it is an intoxicating journey. Every flower is a rich metaphor and a whole world unto itself.
This blog is a personal account of the flowers, plants and other natural wonders in and around our home in the Sierra Foothills, with similarly intentioned guest articles here and there from various places. I hope not only to talk about the flower itself, but what it means to people, especially mythologically, medicinally, and metaphorically. I’m not a botanist and these pages are not those of a scholar or expert. They represent a journal of my own discoveries and thoughts on the flowers and related life around our home.
Please enjoy and share with me your own observations and encounters with our Floral friends.
