A Monarch butterfly came by as I was taking photos to share with you. I’ve been working on the landscaping around my office all summer and the gardens are looking beautiful.
I’ve been planting Chinese herbal medicinal plants, including Peony, Black Cohosh, Skullcap, Wild Rose, Belamcamda and Solomon Seal, which can serve to demonstration the herbs that are in the Chinese herbal formulas that I make.
Next spring should be even better and there will be even more medicinal plants and flowers – including Magnolia, Hollyhock, Fennel, Clematis, Platycodon, and Wild Rose.
I have lots of poppy seeds, let me know if you want some. You can plant them late fall for next spring germination.
Peony – Bai Shao
Aster – Zi Wan
Belamcamba ( Blackberry Lily) – She Gan
Chrysanthemum – Ju Hua
Scutellaria (Skullcap) – Huang Qin
Poppy – Ying Su Qiao
