Dear Curiosity Journal,
Even in the August heat, when sweat runs into squinting eyes and shoulders sizzle under the smoldering sun, tending to flowers transcends these torrid troubles. My floral fancies are a contrast to vegetable production, carrying a lightness, beauty for beauty’s sake, and an ethereal essence, beyond food and function. Rooted in magic and folklore, reaching for the firmament, each blossom tells us a fairytale, teaches us about life beyond the veil, and brings us into kinship with the botanical realm.
