Seasonal local flowers

I was coming back from the grocery store yesterday, saw these in bloom, and realized that hereabouts stella d’oro is a Cancer solstice bloom:

I don���t see a lot of them cultivated here, as green and gold happen to be the colors of our university’s main in-state rival….

The other flowers I see are wild sweet pea (a weed out here):

…and chicory:

Since I am heggaching away at the moment, I thought some flowers would be a good, soothing blog post for the day (not requiring a lot of thought or heavy-duty thinking). What’s abloom where you are?

I recently received an order from a customer who wanted a replica of the Halloween crescent I had made for display. She also purchased the large piece of teak I had in the shop. After finishing the crescent, I found myself short on hanging space, so I temporarily hooked it over the teak. To my surprise, the combination looked fantastic, and now I’m inspired to get more wood and hang crescent-shaped flowers on them.

I love the effect it created, even though it wasn’t intentional. I’m unsure how it will look with different colors - orange seems to really make it pop - but I’m excited to experiment with other hues and give it a try.

The Benefits of Choosing Locally Grown Flowers for Your Arrangements

In recent years, the relevance of sustainability has grown significantly across a wide range of industries, including the floral industry. As eco-consciousness grows, more couples and event planners are choosing locally-grown, seasonal flowers over imported alternatives.

some say the goat will end in fire some say in ice from what I've read on the Wikipedia page of past Goat-destroying efforts, I'm pretty sure none of us were reckoning on absolute swarms of hungry birds but birds are also great and will suffice

Something about the emphasis on blacksmithery in Viktor's commune.

It's not really that emphasized, but enough to let us know the principal activities in the commune are agriculture and blacksmithery. Agriculture is kinda obvious because: 1. Eating, 2. All the communities through history can establish and prosper as soon as they start agriculture systems.

However, blacksmithery isn't the same. Historically, most societies would choose easier materials to work with (wood, bricks, mud, and straw) rather than metals because molding metal is just so much riskier and harder labor (and much more time if you're using it to build houses as if the commune's case).

And I get this is a Viktor metamorphosis into a metal-organic living creature kind of reference but still. It's shown that they use organic materials for their baskets (which is the most practical option), there's nature and flowers everywhere yet still Viktor is picking the harder and less practical option (blacksmithery) to create the houses they are living in.

But it's what the little dude says to Vi. It is:

Then it has plenty of food and flowers, clean water and; for some reason, blacksmithery being a principal activity there.

Incredibly funny that y'know, despite being a scientist Jayce is still a blacksmith and for the same reason a lower house. Incredibly funny how during Progress Day Jayce himself mentions his house probably made the hammers the chairs were created with, implying that despite providing Piltover the bases for daily living blacksmithery is still overlooked. Incredibly funny how blacksmithery is one of the principal activities in Viktor's commune, literally making the houses everyone is living in despite what; I insist, is stupidly impractical.
