a fuschia themed world


I recently painted the walls of my study in this exact shade....Alter of Roses is what it says on the can. American Vetch, is what my plant bible, Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast by Pojar and Mackinnon. This is the coolest plant book every with lots of random facts and interesting information, including but not limited to a recipe for wine using Oregon grapes and salal, two native evergreen plants. Normally, I'd side with mother nature over Walmart but truthfully Vetch sounds like a curse word.

The lion, because I know you're jealous, cost me 10 cents at a crazy yard sale somewhere east of Mount St. Helens.
