- Mullein
There’s a giant in my yard. Great mullein: the queen towering above all. Her spike can be as tall as 2 meters (mine’s 2.5 meters and I’m quite proud about that), with furry leaves that give her nicknames like “cowboy toilet paper,” “old man’s blanket,” and “feltwort.” Nice. Feltwort? What about figwort, the name of the plant…

Mandalas are beautiful, intricate, and attention-focusing. They can be made with anything–even plants.
- Rhubarb Dreams
It’s March. Winter oppression is at its height. We dream of the brightly colored stalks of rhubarb poking out of the snow. After a drab, colorless winter, the sight of rosy pink stems delights. Rhubarb has some surprising botanical relatives. There’s also not just one rhubarb, but hundreds. Learn more about the buckwheat family.
