#Resilient strong #iris - got #bent & #broken - still refused to stop living & growing! It #bloomed yesterday
My #purple #iris that smells like #GrapeSoda has finally #bloomed & it makes me happy to see/smell them! They smell fantastic; different scent than most other irises.
Several of my #MiniDaffodils #bloomed while I was away from home. It's sure #delightful to see these #flowers this morning
In 1812, the Brothers #Grimm told of #Folklore's Frau #Berchta, an #Alpine #Goddess.
The 5 #Petals of the #White #Christmas #Rose (#Helleborus niger) #Bloomed #Iridescent in her tracks. Berchta means #Luminous.
Niger refers to the #Black #Roots which were used to make a #Poultice during the #BlackPlague.
Berchta visited homes #Between #Christmas & #TwelfthNight to #Bless #Good children w/ #Gold coins & #Punish the #Naughty by stuffing their #Stomach-s w/ straw.
