I’m planting in memory of Ophelia.

A part of my garden will be dominated by Rosemary.

Pansies are so very gorgeous. Sigh.

Fennel I can take or leave as food – but the foliage is amazing.

Columbine is my favourite name but I grew up calling them Granny’s Bonnet. Now they are Aquilegia. Whatever. Gorgeous.

Daisy.Daisy.Daisy. Mmmmm

Rue – schwoon.

Violets – double/triple schwoon.

Nan used to eat Parma Violet sweets. Sometimes I catch the scent of violets in the air and KNOW that she is still with me :o)

“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember; and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts…
There’s fennel for you, and columbines; there’s rue for you, and here’s some for me; we may call it herb of grace o’ Sundays. O, you must wear your rue with a difference. There’s a daisy. I would give you some violets, but they wither’d all when my father died. They say he made a good end,— [Sings.]
“For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.”
