Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

My favorite flower: the foxglove. 
hauntedgardenbook:

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) has an exceptionally long list of folk names. In addition to its popular identification with fairies and witches, it was also associated with the Virgin Mary, and its European names included Virgin’s Fingers and Our Lady’s Glove. (Reference: Flowers and Flower Lore, 2nd ed., 1884, by the Rev. Hilderic Friend.) Art: The Drone by Arthur Hacker, 1899.

The PYO Flower Labyrinth at Shoving Leopard Farm

flowerfield:

CSA and PYO flowers in Red Hook, NY

After gorging myself (for free! you can volunteer at these things and eat/drink for zero dollars!) at Hudson’s Ramp Fest today, I’m a little bit overwhelmed by the abundance of amazing local food in the upper-Hudson Valley area (and I’m sure this is how Anthony Bourdain feels every single day). This place is chock full of farms and, therefore, bountiful CSA shares, but did you know that there are also pick-your-own flower shares!? Where you can pay *not very much money* to pick amazing flowers at a farm every week? This means bright, fragrant rainbow flowers all over your house every day until the frost comes and bites their heads off.

Here is one that is close to me, in Red Hook, NY.
