Walden Flowers


This arrangements is made of wildflowers that are referenced in Walden, and cited in the PLANTS site,which is in itself a very magnificent angry craft. Its design was inspired by a comment that Paul made on the ABC (which I cannot find) that described a garden or porch, where the plants were not actual flowers, but a stick with the name of the plant on it, placed in a pot of dirt.

Chickory: as compared to ‘vegetative sand’ [pp.201];

Cranberry: [pp.78]; as example of a cash crop, [pp.131] [pp.158];

Daisy: [pp.80].

Dandelion: alone in field, [pp.92].

Flag (Iris): [pp.119-120]; [pp.131]; [pp.133]

Garlic: [pp.39].

Hemlock: “Hemlock tea” [pp. 100]; tree scholars, [pp.134-135];





Milkweed: [pp.156].
