Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. The family is Proteaceae. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 30019

Star of Bethlehem Blooms after all the crocuses daffodils and Tulips have done blooming,
For years I had no idea these existed in our garden, I know they were planted by the original owner of the house,
I guess cultivating the flowerbeds got them blooming again.
" ...to cultivate unhurried activities and quiet places, sanctuaries in time and space for reflection and contemplation."
{The Lost Art of Reading}
At this morning's Band of Brothers group - The Portal - at Christian Fellowship Church - we discussed the power that lives within each. Recognize it. Cultivate it. Radiate it. "His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature." 2 Peter 1

It takes around 2,000 tiny leaves to make just one pound of finished tea.
There are more than 1,500 types of teas in the world. Tea plants grow wild in parts of Asia, but over 25 countries cultivate tea as a plantation crop.
The very best tea comes from high elevations and is hand-picked

It is a native plant of Bolivia. The plant's common name is due to its elongated, hairy branches, covered in spines, which resemble a monkey's tail.
The monkey tail cactus is a succulent plant that can grow up to 2 meters tall. It has long, thin leaves that are green or reddish. The leaves are covered in small spines that are not sharp enough to pierce the skin. The plant blooms in the summer, producing large, red flowers. The flowers are fragrant and attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
The monkey tail plant flourishes in Bolivia at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 meters (4921.26 to 9842.52 feet) above sea level. Native to the Bolivian Andes, it adapts well to dry and semi-arid forests.
The ideal altitude for cultivating the monkey tail plant lies between 2,000 and 2,500 meters (6561.68 to 8202.1 feet) above sea level. At this elevation, the plant receives ample sunlight and enjoys moderate temperatures.

Gassho-zukuri means "constructed like hands in prayer", as the farmhouses' steep thatched roofs resemble the hands of Buddhist monks pressed together in prayer. The architectural style developed over many generations and is designed to withstand the large amounts of heavy snow that falls in the region during winter. The roofs, made without nails, provided a large attic space used for cultivating silkworms.

Although I love cultivating flowers, plants once loathed in the garden are now more than welcome. Letting clover grow in one's garden supports pollinators and frees up time that would have been spent weeding.
It is more important than ever to protect the small creatures that in fact contribute to our food security.
Here's a link that is worth reading....so say the bees:

I was thrilled to visit the Paris ‘Café des Deux Moulins’, where much of the 2001 movie ‘Amelie’ was set - this is a composite image of a large poster autographed by Audrey Tautou, who played Amelie, and a selfie of me cracking a crème brûlée with a teaspoon at the self same café. It was delicious, and the coffee was ok, too. The café interior was recognisable from the movie, one of my all-time favourites.

reminiscent of the plows which tilled the early prairie lands, the sculptures are set upright to almost suggest wings

and at night, its gold reflective interiors enhance the luminescent lighting, making cultivate a glowing beacon in twilight skies

What is firmly established cannot be uprooted.
What is firmly grasped cannot slip away.
It will be honored from generation to generation.
Cultivate Virtue in your self,
And Virtue will be real.
Cultivate it in the family,
And Virtue will abound.
Cultivate it in the village,
And Virtue will grow.
Cultivate it in the nation,
And Virtue will be abundant.
Cultivate it in the universe,
And Virtue will be everywhere.
Therefore look at the body as body;
Look at the family as family;
Look at the village as village;
Look at the nation as nation;
Look at the universe as universe.
How do I know the universe is like this?
By looking!

Chickweed, micro greens and eggy bread - "Bread and Topping"
CHICKWEED
Modern medicine as we know it has only existed for around one hundred years. For thousands of years our ancestors relied on the healing powers of plants. Much of this knowledge has been purposely suppressed, plant remedies cannot be patented so big pharma cannot make huge profits from their manufacture. Chickweed, we are told, is just another wayside weed to be uprooted and discarded or poisoned with toxic weed killers. For years I have battled with this so-called weed, until a few weeks ago when I decided to do a little bit of research and discovered this plants amazing healing properties. Dandelions too have amazing healing powers...I am now actively cultivating them both! :-)

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness, and affection.
Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.”
― Brené Brown
