G Dan Mitchell<p>“Purple Larkspur” — Purple larkspur flowers, blooming in Northern California. </p><p>Recently I wrote — again! — about returning to unremarkable “special places” that probably don’t have any meaning to anyone but me. This photograph comes from one that I mentioned, a trail through a small ravine at a nearby country park.

Ash O'Kesta<p>The bluets are blooming, so spring is really and truly here! Houstonia is a spring blooming, New England native <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wildflower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildflower</span></a> that grows best in partially shaded, slightly dry soils. You'll often find it on roadsides, cemetaries and in minimally mown lawns. It is tiny, grows slowly and doesn't like to be fussed over, so you'll have to enjoy it where you find it. </p><p>PS. This is my absolute favorite plant, and as a horticulturalist, that's really saying something. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/inBloom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inBloom</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/bloomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloomScrolling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flowers</span></a></p>

MasterOfNone<p>10/10 The roots, too, have a penetrating pungency, containing some tannic acid, and there was once a popular superstition (to which Bacon refers) that if they be boiled in milk and the liquid given to puppies, the animals will grow no bigger. <br>In Scotland it is the 'Bairn-wort,' (Bairn a Scottish word for child) testifying to the joy of children in gathering it for daisy-chains. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildFlower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildFlower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ethnobotany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnobotany</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
MasterOfNone<p>9/10 There is a saying that spring has not arrived until you can cover three, or nine, or a dozen daisy flowers with your foot. If there is some disagreement about the requisite number, it is because there is scarcely a day in the year (except during freezing weather) when there are not hundrteds of daisys on the ground.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildFlower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildFlower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ethnobotany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnobotany</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
MasterOfNone<p>8/10 Symbolism in Modern Times<br>&nbsp;Generally speaking, daisies indicate innocence, purity, and gentleness on behalf of both the giver and the receiver. "You have as many virtues as this plant has petals," or, "I will consider your request."A white daisy represents shared feelings of affection.&nbsp; A red one tells of beauty unknown to the possessor. Not sure about pink!&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildFlower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildFlower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ethnobotany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnobotany</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
MasterOfNone<p>7/10.A well-known practice originated with heartbroken Victorian maids who wished to be loved once again by their suitors. A maid would pluck a daisy's petals one by one, chanting, "He loves me, he loves me not," . Of course, it was the last petal that predicted the situation's outcome.&nbsp; &nbsp;A maiden would also grasp a handful of daisies with her eyes closed. The number of blossoms left in her hand were the number of years that remained until she married.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildFlower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildFlower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ethnobotany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnobotany</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
MasterOfNone<p>6/10 Symbolism in Tudor times<br>&nbsp;Transplanting wild daisies to a cultivated garden was considered to be very unlucky.King Henry VIII ate dishes of daisies to relieve himself from his stomach-ulcer pain.
