The Return

| Rosa rugosa |
In April 2009, I began blogging. At the local cafe in Easton, MD, my friend suggested that I start a blog and Flora Phenomena was born. Twelve years ago, and with them many evolutions of blogs and websites have come and gone spanning across three different states. I blogged on Flora Phenomena for quite a while, even had an Etsy store and sold my herbal remedies. Then I started a few other ventures, attualmente: at the present moment, Wild Hearts Awakening, Salix Rosa Reiki, Salix Rosa, and most recently Elemental Naturalist. Between 2014 and 2016 I dipped my toe back into these waters for a longer period of time, but then left for something new. Here I am again.
What can I say? I am a Manifesting Generator and I like to follow what lights me up. I am okay with letting (most) things go and starting anew. Why hold onto something? The notion that if you set something free...right? Therefore, I am pretty good at Konmari and minimalism (except in the garden).
Though, for some reason I have held onto to floraphenomena.blogspot.com all these years. A steady presence, just like the plants I love and want the world to know.
I am not sure where I am going with the blog this time. I started an Instagram handle to complement the blog - @floraphenomena. Maybe I am nostalgic, missing the good ol' days of blogs, before the listicles. When blog posts were like journal entries. I do miss writing on a regular basis.
Welcome to this journey that involves the flora that happen into my life. Just like gardening, this space is an experiment.
A walk down memory lane. One of the first blog posts here in 2009 - haiku for mayapples:
