🌿Happy Earth Day 🌿


Lunaria annua

'Honesty' seed harvest

2015
from Mary Lou Clark,
Shaw Island, San Juan Archipelago, WA.
Blooming on this day of 22 April 2020
at the Shaw Island Gatehouse.
The willow tray was handwoven in England.

"All seeds are most interesting, whether winged like the Dandelion and Thistle, to fly on every breeze afar; or barbed to catch in the wool of cattle or the garments of men, to be borne away and spread in all directions over the land; or feathered like the little polished shuttlecocks of the Cornflower, to whirl in the wind abroad and settle presently, point downward, into the hospitable ground."

      Celia Thaxter. An Island Garden.
