Spring unfurls in layers of expressive green and astonishing blossoms. The abundant herbs who I collect for teas, thrive well after the generously rainy month. I present a photo montage to demonstrate the unveiling of this Flourishing Spring, illuminating life.

Some plants grow at speed of sound at times, and multiply with ease. They gather, congregate, share, forgive and grow some more.

A beautiful quote from Danu ~ "The plants that grow on the edges, on the wild side of things, are the toughest and sassiest plants we have. They have tenacity, courage, determination and a “I’ll do it my way” kind of attitude. They cannot be confined, they cannot be erased, they cannot be put down."

The unfurling fiddlehead emerging with grace from deep spidery webs.

May their legacy thrive and multiply.

The lady slipper who's habitat was subject to clear cutting - I spotted this queen a few weeks ago, robustly returning after resting in the soil to wait for better times. These are better times.

Flowers in the sky ~

Blessings for your late Spring and early summer. May you find the medicine from the earth, and reciprocate with gratitude. "Flourishing is mutual."
