Frankincense and Myrrh is back again, I wrapped up a batch of it two days ago. Here you see it amidst our ravaging Purple Queen plants. [Otherwise known as Tradescantia Pallida, Purple Heart or Wandering Jew.] This is but a small sampling of the Queen at 392 Van Brunt - all propagated from a single plant, obviously one with very good genes. We give it out for good luck; even brown thumbs can take a clipping, root it in some water for a few weeks then pot it up in a sunny window with success.

Here I used some as a backdrop to a dinner-plate dahlia nosegay:


And you can eat it...

This is still one of my favorite pictures from your blog :) The image captures such the serene essence of flower arrangements.

This all feels very Christmassy! I absolutely love the packaging.
