| shades of days gone by dyeing |
My mind is moving forward, now thinking of spring, of gardens, of dyeing. Natural Dye ingredients are top of my list. I already have many plants that are hiding, right now, under snow. I know they are there where their thoughts are of breaking through to show themselves in yet another new year. For them, snow is good. It keeps them safe.
Many bulbs are lying in wait to be the first plantings to pop-up out of the ground. Some come out way before the others. I notice so many purples are in the brave first few to show their color.
Pansies are showing where the snow has melted. I love their pretty little faces. It will be quite a while before they show with vigor and flowers.
I found a link to: http://companionplants.com/catalog/index.php . They sell seed: Indigofera tinctoria Indigo (tinctoriea).
I had many plants of False Indigo a few years ago. The winter that year was very cold, much more cold than usual.
I plan to buy more plants of this, as well. I have many blue flowering plants. I wish to buy a blue poppy someplace this year.
Exactly one year ago today I photographed my mourning doves and made this movie which is not very good, but, I just wanted you to see my entertainment these days.
I think it should have the music "Lime and a Coconut"
