Floral Essences
Clematis clematis vitalba



For ME : Prayer & Love; (in order to be effective) are best when they effect life action. When I feel helpless I try to get to work moving in someway! God ultimately gets all the Glory for sure but I enjoy being apart & aware of His Marvelous design. Isn't is amazing that every thing has a use. Lorraine Hansberry's last play was entitled What Use are flowers and it has hung with me for many years as a beautiful reminder That God uses everything for GOOD!

Over the next little while I want to look into some healing herbs and flowers. Again as an affirmation of the Mercy and Grace of GOD, of the resilience and power that He put in our Earth and also in our Human Spirit . I just ma end up planting a few of these herbs and flowers for their healing properties.

Please note that these are not in any alphabetical order just in order of what my Soul is crying out for on any particular day:


Clematis Vitalba

is aka "Old man beard" and is a member of the Butter cup family. It is considered a weed which can grow up to 30 ft long and develop fragrant blossoms. They are also very delightful in appearance in my opinion.
