These plants are so intriguing! Beautiful shot, Geoff! 🤍🩷
Preach!!!
Interesting name for it -- I'd not come across that before. Here, it's usually lamb's ear.
Ohh, I like how there's a distinction between who waters the roots and who are just picking the flowers, it says that there's a particular someone who is like a sanctuary and caregiver, while the world takes and can sometimes drain a person. Nicely written. Awesome job!
Love this, Geoff! Gorgeous.
You know...your caption is pretty deep, here. In relationships (of all kinds) there are the takers, and there are those people who, receiving, share something to nourish us. They water our roots--our mind and spirit. 😊👍💛
