A gift from my intern's mother, who is an avid gardener. She is from Jamaica and calls this plant "Trinidadian Thyme", and it is common in the Caribbean. Smells and tastes just like regular thyme, but with much larger leaves.
Day 17: Thyme
Inspiration was short for yesterday's image. I ended up passing a parking lot with some really nice leading lines in the covered area and decided to roll with it.
Thought to have brought courage, thyme was once given as gifts to warriors before battle and burnt as incense in temples in the Middle Ages. It was also thought to aid sleep and ward off nightmares. In the same time period, thyme used as incense was burned at funerals and placed on coffins because it was thought to aid passage into the afterlife. The Romans used thyme to purify their rooms and in cooking—probably the most common use of it today alongside its medicinal uses. The essential oil of common thyme is 20-54% thymol, an active antimicrobial ingredient in Listerine and other mouthwashes. It was also used to medicate bandages before modern medicine.

After the wine tasting, we had lunch. I went up to the counter afterward where the other people are standing in this photo, and asked for a combined blueberry and partridgeberry ice cream, thinking it was regular ice cream. To my delight, it was soft serve, and the woman mixed it, and it was delicious!

In a “punny” celebration of Pride Day that was tied to the upcoming Daylight Saving Time, employees in Marketing and Communications planted thyme seeds in a fun project.
These were growing in containers on my deck and I planted at the community plot to over-winter.

after rooting out what i think was a tomato plant in my thyme plant, the thyme has really taken off!
i really should remove seeds from my compost before planting...
"Thyme has a hint of orange that blends in a perfect union."
Notes: Mimi's herbal infusions are among her strongest-flavored truffles. The heavy woody scent of thyme is very pronounced and does a nice job of holding the compellingly rich dark chocolate at bay. For thyme lovers like me, this is a real treat!
