The first #cowslips (#Primula vera) are starting to #flower. They are no longer as dense as in this older photo. The protected plant had already completely disappeared from our #meadows due to industrial agriculture. It came back despite the drought two years ago, thanks to #animal gardeners! Mark the last day of March: I'll talk about fascinating #MoreThanHuman #gardeners in my #podcast #NatureMatchCuts! They can even teach us about #ecosystem, #biodiversity + #lazy #gardening. #florespondence

#OTD John #Milton, #English #Poet, is born.
His #Elegy, called #Lycidas, was dedicated to his #Friend, Edward King, who died young.
The #Poem mentions 11 #Flowers at his #Funeral including the #Primrose, #TuftedCrowToe, #Gessamine, #Pansy, #Violet, #MuskRose, #Woodbine, & #Cowslips.
The #Verse ends:
Every #Flower that #Sad #Embroidery wears:
Bid #Amaranthus all his #Beauty shed,
& #Daffadillies fill their cups with #Tears,
To strew the #Laureate #Hearse where #Lycid lies.

#OTD #Science & #Flowers: Study of the One Does Not Destroy the Love of the Other appeared in The Indianapolis News.
"Must the scientific sense blunt the #Aesthetic one?
Pistils & stamens, nectaries & receptacles - don't always go well with artless talk about sweet #Blooms & bright #Berries.
Flowers are inextricably woven about human life.
When will the #Artist be tired of painting the children in the meadows with their laps full of #Cowslips or #Celandine?"
