I realized, a few years ago,  that I don’t know most of the plants that exist around me. They are just wild plants, or weeds, or whatevers. I discovered that any plant I can name, either nickname, or latin name, has a different experience for me than the others which just recede into the background of “whatevers”.  I have been doing the practice of studying those plants that exist in the background so they emerge into the foreground for me. This provides a better knowledge of the plant kingdom and the plants exist with distinction.

Here are some recent plants that I have transformed, for myself,  from background to distinct.
