While hosting a virtual class on Winter Sowing, I looked up and was totally surprised. The most beautiful Amaryllis was on my dining room table bodaciously showing off. A Bluestone Perennial bulb, gifted to me from the Garden of Words team, has unfurled her party dress, and the winter is ending dance has begun. 5 inches wide and quite voluptuous, I am reminded that relationships matter. I turned my Dad onto Bluestone Perennials, as well as my siblings and other friends.when that box shows up at work , everyone wants to peek inside. I'm going to immerse myself in the beauty of this bloom and rest knowing that the Garden of Words and Bluestone Perennials are helping me enjoy this chilly day!

A few nights ago, I had a dream in which I distinctly remember a blue-purple flower with a yellow center. I was surprised, as I couldn't remember seeing this flower anywhere recently, if ever. Today, I discovered it on an infograph for flowers that attract pollinators. This variety is Aster laevis Bluebird. Delving deeper, I found that it has a rich history of symbolic meaning, including patience, love, and a wish that past events had happened differently. The flowers appeared, perhaps, as an homage to the many metaphorical deaths I've had to mourn this past year and the patience required to heal. Thank you, Aster, for bringing your plant medicine to my dreams♡ Have plants ever spoken in your dreams before? . . . #bluestoneperennials #aster #dreaminterpretation #plantmedicine #dreammedicine
