My mother picked crab-apples off the Glasgow apple trees and pounded them with chillies to change her homesickness into green chutney. — Imtiaz Dharker
Here in Australia the Lily Pily fruit & the berries on asapargus fern (once they turn dark) and the berries produced by a weird edible climbing spinach plant (also once they turn dark) all release sensational purples & pinks 🌸🎟
Whoaaa! Jason! That first photo is so incredible!! Looks like a flower... which has been made out of flowers! Isn't it interesting? A little human encountering nature... being fascinated, enthralled by nature, playing with nature and collaborating with nature to create a new flower, after it passed through the little human's soul. I love it. And I love your writing!! So excited to read about your adventures!! YAAAAAY!!!
I have been delighted by the shocking pink obtained from a handful of dried Christmas cactus flowers. I let some of them sit in water for a couple of days and they went slimy - but like - mucus slimy! I wondered if they could sort of create their own thickener / binder at that point.
Loving your colour musings

I look forward to reading more of this— lovely ‘lab notes’ of a poet scientist, if I may
Lovely reading!
I love your writing, as well as your images. Thanks for the inspiration x
I was walking amongst dozen of crab apple trees today- laden with blossom, marveling at their gall- to be so brashly beautiful
So glad you are doing this!
I’m grateful for the beauty you bring us with these newsletters - you make me think that anything is possible and that magic does exist.
