lavender monkeyflower portrait back to next generation series back to flower essence sub-directory flower photo index site directory h-o-m-e
		NOTE:  This is the same essence that's known as Purple monkeyflower in the FES repertory. I like this essence for situations that hinge on spiritual hesitancy and related fear factors that are largely tied to previous trauma or profound ridicule/invalidation.   This particular flower medicine spirit was very quick to ask for a place in the SL2 growing beds.  Later, when wildflowering plants made themselves known, I often gave them gratitude offerings or sat with them as well as the plant in SL2.
