Enchanted Aster

According to folklore it's perfume could drive serpents away. Aster's are a talisman of love. Known as: Starworts, Michaelmas Daisies, and Frost Flowers. Aster is Greek for star. They come in all colors and mostly have a yellow center. Aster's are the birth flower for September.

When Seeds Are Planted

Intriguing things begin to grow!

On January 6, 2010, Jeanne, over at The Candy Corn Chronicles, began a two day series on the state of our plant and seed industry, and how much peril heirloom and native plant seeds are in of becoming extinct.

Over the next few days, Chris, aka, The Frog Queen, over at Frog On The Pumpkin, Becca of Magikal Seasons fame, and myself shared some of our thoughts and ideas about our gardens and our dreams.

Finding that while we are diverse not only in our climates, and our personal favorites in styles of gardening, we all agree in promoting a healthy green planet.

Taking it a step further, blending in our combined love of all things magickal and spooky into a group blog format, wasn't a stretch at all!

So here we are. Presenting a diverse assortment of botanical topics for your reading pleasure. We hope that you will join in with your comments and questions, sharing new ideas and rediscovering old ones.

Becca, Chris, Jeanne, Sherry & Suzie

"It is good to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought."
