('s version)

"My first Class is a wrap!" Gina was thrilled w/ herself as she plopped back on the couch.

"Did you sing "Stigma, Petal, Stem, & Roots" to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes?" asked Beth grabbing a few bags of popcorn from the pantry.

"We sure did - right after we dipped in dyed water & watched the color. They loved it all. Now for a little marathon." Gina slid the ottoman closer for her tired feet.

Birth Month Flower: January, Carnations (#6 of a series)
Ketubah(1789) [Source: ROM Collection]

I've learned that this lovely work of art is a Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) which was given to the bride "for safekeeping and is often hung prominently in the home." It was created in Jerusalem during the Ottoman Period and this is reflected in the style of the border details.

Commercial carnations are genetically engineered monstrosities. Also, they are not good for pollinators. 🙂

"The multi-petaled mutants we have selectively bred barely function as viable plants anymore. [...] Also, the duplication of petals has made it so that insects cannot reach the interior to get at the pollen or nectar, removing a great deal of their potential ecological value."
