i don’t talk about plants enough. right now along with my rose of sharon cutting (which is still growing scary fast) i have some goldenrod growing in a pot in my room - it looked so sad that even though it was out of season i had to buy it. it too is growing fast.. it will start to warm up soon so i will plant it outside, it is very beloved by insects. recently ive been wanting to plant some more pumpkins as they grow very well, but nemo might eat them.. the forgetmenots i grew last year did well (and died a few months ago when winter came) but i forgot to take many pictures. i recently bought a packet of some sunflower seeds. ive only tried growing sunflowers once, but the seedlings immediately got trampled. id like to try again because they are really nice.

Our 2023 garden: garlic planted, and topping up the high raised bed

Our 2023 garden: garlic planted, and topping up the high raised bed

Earlier today, I made a trip into town to hit the hardware store. I found the screws in the size I needed, though the cost was insane. A box with only 100 screws was $12.99 – about $4 more than the last time I got a 100 count box! Still, we’ll be able to finish the water bowl shelter now. I also picked up a glass cutter. We have one somewhere, but I have no idea what happened to it. While I was…

ever protected by the frankincense fumes of her faith, alicent favors jasmine scented bath oil. from the lush gardens of the reach, floral is home — where she takes refuge. jasmine is less offensive and quieter then other florals, and she wears it like a sigil.

consequently, all of her children grown into the same scent pallet.

aegon doesn’t really care. the servants can put whatever oil into his bath that they chose, and he will not protest. jasmine just hasn’t left the warm water since he was a child, bathed in his mothers safety. it mixes with the syrupy sweet smell of grapes and spice, mulled wine, that drips from his tongue when he opens his mouth.

helaena likes the smell of jasmine, it makes her think of her mother — and when her mother was happy. it compliments the earthy scent that sticks to her skin from hours spent in the gardens looking for creatures in the dirt. petrichor and rosemary follow suit, dancing through the smooth strands of her silver hair.

of alicent’s children, aemond is the most fond of the floral scent. jasmine oil flows heartily into the water of his methodical bath. it gives him an obsessively clean scent, mixed with the heavy lye soap he scrubs his skin near raw with.

rhaenyra never favored overly ‘feminine’ scents. if she smelled like dragon and smoke, she was keen to lean into fragrances that covered that. cetalox and amber bear enough ambiguity to cover what she does. the frankincense smoke that sticks in her hair on the worst days revelas more than it covers — a yearning for something lost.

ever his mothers son, jacaerys follows in her amber scented footsteps. warm and heady, sweet spice and patchouli mark his presence. they blend well with the smokey scent he can’t quite scrub from his skin — too much time on dragon back. hair is cherished on dragonstone, and the lavender oil that soaks his curls every fortnight softens the intoxicating fragrance of his being.

cregan is ever bound to the north, the smell of pine trapped in his hair, and under his skin. warm and grounding, cedar wood and vetiver make his embrace even safer, crowing his thick furs with the smell of home.

Nootka rose, or Rosa nutkana is a wild rose native to the pacific northwest. Wild roses all generally have only five petals, rather than the many-petaled cultivated varieties most people think of as “roses”. This allows pollinators to access the food the flowers provide, so they’re a more ecologically beneficial choice for gardening. These roses are host plants for over 100 species of butterflies and moths, including the striking polyphemus moth which has a wingspan that can take up your whole hand!

If you live in the Pacific Northwest Coast (Southern Alaska, West coast of Canada, Washington, Oregon, and Northern California Coast) which flower do you think symbolises the coast more/which one do you like better/which one would you like to represent the PNW Coast?
