But I don’t want to see what I’ve already seen, or write about what everyone already knows. I want to dazzle myself. I want to live in the knowledge (as Borges once said, citing Shakespeare) that “there are more things.”
-Benjamín Labatut

Gardeners, stewards of our plots, some “re-wild the garden” wisdom here:

Last Year’s Sunflowers Save This Year’s Garden
“The poet Adrienne Rich once wrote ‘all learning looks at first like chaos.’ Here in the garden, I’ve learned that chaos provides more possibilities for growth--the garden has taught me to embrace chaos, to look beyond it and find hope”

April color echoes…plum-hued Hellebores and burnished coppery-wine patterns on Epimedium foliage and Princess Irene tulip petals.
I didn’t plan it…perhaps the plants just decided to have a springtime party together!

First sprouting seeds of the season!

From seeds collected of last summer’s Hyacinth Bean Vine… looking closely, the foliage and stem color hues are already there…

“I associate the garden with the whole experience of being alive, and so, there is nothing in the range of human experience that is separate from what the garden can signify in its eagerness and it’s insistence, and it’s driving energy to live—to grow, to bear fruit.”
-Stanley Kunitz, The Wild Braid

As I await tulips to begin blooming, here’s from a past spring,
Euphorbia characias and Tulip ‘Bastogne.’

The color echoes were not planned…rather, they were another gift from the garden🌿

"There was an ancient civilization that could speak Tree.
They could understand the language of roots and the noise of fungi, a highly developed tongue, difficult to translate. They refused to write down the sounds because they could hear the molecules of the papyrus crying.”

-From Heather Altfelt’s, “Every Day Another Language Dies"

From my continuing exploration of names of colors…and where can I find them in my garden.

What color Is Celadon?
Pale spring green with grayish undertones, dusty gray-green… bluish gray-green? As in ceramic glazes, it seems to be many things…

Among other things, I collect color names.

Coquelicot is a shade of red.
The term was originally a French vernacular name for the wild corn poppy, Papaver rhoeas, and is distinguished by its bright red color and orange tint.
It eventually passed into English usage as the name of a color based upon that of the flower.
The first recorded use of this usage was in the year 1795.
