I love mint! Some peeps are dismissive of Pennyroyal flowers but I love the sprinkling of tiny white flowers. Always knew abortifacient reputation.

Here is a snake plant that I propagated in soil. It took months to root and a few months more to sprout new growth. When propagating snake plants from a cut leaf, the new growth does not share the same leaf colors & characteristics as the mother plant.

Important if you read academic papers whatever your interest or level.
Just a gentle reminder that museum and society journals continue to be excellent alternatives to the over-priced, high-profit academic journals and the pay-to-publish-anything predatory journals.

Once Sansevieria now Dracaena. Plant taxonomists - the devils! 😄
Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata formerly Sansevieria) is also known as mother-in-law's tongue, Saint George's sword, and viper's bowstring hemp. It has sword-like foliage that is quite striking -

Nekhbet was the representation of the Upper Nile. Because of her, numerous goddesses and also all the queens of Egypt wore vulture crowns. Ninhersag of Mesopotamia was depicted with vultures. Studies suggest a vulture death goddess at Catalhoyuk. In Rome all vultures were thought to be female.

This is oddly soothing. What a beautiful idea. Eco-friendly, unlike embalming. Where can I sign up to have my remains reclaimed by a tree? #greenburial
🌿🪦🌿"Folklore claimed that churchyard yews would stretch a root to the mouth of each corpse, making a hidden green-man of every buried body. Their essence would be drawn in with the sap. The tree would remember them."
