I used to grow Christmas cacti in the winter, enjoying the luscious red blooms during the winter. I love the idea of bulbs. What a lovely post!

This is so beautiful Rowen~thank you for sharing. I too plan to re-read Braiding Sweetgrass this springtime along with the gentle planting of an abundant garden. While anticipating is helping release some of the dull ache from the winter lonelies, I was wondering when things would shift and recently felt something positive stirring. Spring is coming, thank goodness.

A beautiful read, thank you. 🤍 and happy to see Laing quoted! 'The Lonely City' is one of my favourite books.
