It was a terrible loss to Philadelphia's historical, museum, and horticultural communities alike when Joel T. Fry, long-time curator at Bartram's Garden, passed away last month. The official remembrance page for Joel is now live on the Bartram's Garden web site: https://www.bartramsgarden.org/remembering-joel/ You can also see personal remembrances on the Bartram's Garden Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=592853726211937&set=a.321442076686438 #bartramsgarden #gardenhistory #franklinia

November 22, 1819
#George #Eliot, the English #Victorian author, is born.
Eliot wrote,
I wish the sky would #Rain down #Roses...
Why will it not?
Then all the valleys would be #Pink and white,
And soft to tread on.
Eliot loved the idea of raining roses but knew it was only a #dream
She wrote,
It never rains roses.
When we want more roses, we must #Plant more...

#George #Eliot, the English #Victorian author, is born.
My favorite quotes from Eliot are about her love of #Roses. She wrote:
"I think am quite wicked with roses.
I like to gather them and smell them till they have no scent left."

#Autumn,
the princely season,
Purple-robed and liberal-handed
Brings no gloom to us,
But, rich in its own self,
Gives us rich #hope of
#Wintertime.
- James Henry Leigh Hunt

Jack #Frost was in the#garden.
I saw him there at dawn.
He was dancing around the bushes,
And prancing on the lawn.
He had a cloak of silver,
And a hat all shimmering white,
A wand of glittering stardust,
And shoes of sunbeam light.
- John P. Smeeton

"Be mine, be mine, O maiden #rose!"
The wicked #raspberry cried;
But the rose was brave and cried, "Behave!
Begone to, your raspberry bride;
The rose may only woo the rose,
The cherry espouse the cherry,
The gypsy maid gets the gypsy blade,
The raspberry gets the berry!"

I usually incorporate garden poetry into The Daily Gardener podcast.
Today's poem was in honor of Archibald Lampman - born today in 1861.
