Today's letter is 'Y' in the @mhhsbd.bsky.social challenge. I'm going with a yellow rose.
Spiritually, yellow roses symbolize friendship, joy, optimism, and new beginnings. They can signify healing, recovery, and encouragement, making them a powerful symbol of hope.

In the Okefenokee, the Rose Pogonia is a floral warning. Lore says its fleshy roots are young snakes "sleeping" in the peat. Dig one up & you’ve disturbed a nest; pick the bloom & the mother cottonmouth will track the scent to find you. 🐍🌸 #FolkloreThursday #Okefenokee #PlantLore

Don’t want to be bothered by His Satanic Majesty? Plant some periwinkle in your garden as Warwickshire plant lore has it that periwinkle keeps the Devil away.

Fern #Folklore claims that the ancient, flowerless plant blooms or drops invisible seeds on Midsummer’s Eve (St. John's Eve). Gathering this 'fern flower' or its seeds at midnight is said to grant the finder invisibility, the ability to speak to animals, and eternal wealth.

1 Dec: The ‘Christmas Rose’ or ‘Winter Rose’ (Helleborus niger) is one of the birth flowers of #December. An old legend says that when humankind fell from grace and Paradise lay shrouded in snow, the angels carried this bloom to earth as a sign of love and mercy. #Plantlore

Among the 200+ herbaceous plants in the Okefenokee is the fragrant "Deer's Tongue" [Carphephorus odoratissimus]. Its leaves were once a prized addition to tobacco mixtures, a small, aromatic secret hidden among the carnivorous sundews and pitcher plants. #SwampSunday #PlantLore #Okefenokee #HerbLore

🌱 I just discovered something wild: my wisteria seedling has a twin sprout!
Two shoots from one seed.
A 0.1% chance.
A miracle in my tiny greenhouse.
This isn’t just a plant—it’s a legend in the making.
