“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” — William Cullen Bryant
Autumn Crocus
Native Range: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon
“Besides its ornamental value, the Autumn Crocus has a long history of use in medicine, rooted in the myths and written records of ancient Egypt, India, and Greece. It is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, the oldest known medical text, prepared by the Egyptians around 1550 B.C. Thirty-five centuries later it is still found in modern pharmacopeias, one of only 18 plants documented as having a history of medicinal value for such a long period of time.”

Things are beginning to look up, Maverick. For the first time in weeks, my iPad is beginning to function like her “normal” self. Do I dare believe this is going to stay after weeks of torture? I think my next post will be my “Passion Explodes in the Sky”. I witnessed a once in a liftetime event the other evening, one that I felt like falling to my knees in awe. Yep, this is coming! (((HUGS))) Amy
