In this blog I nerd out about various plants in Florida. I’m a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, which has good resources regarding plants found in the UK and in the Northeast US, but not so much the Southeast US, so I am setting out to create my own resource. Being a biologist I’m going to talk a lot about evolution, ecology, genetics, and physiology, but the real goal here is to develop a spiritual relationship with the plants around me. Knowing things about plants makes me pay more attention to plants, which in turn helps me to find a spiritual connection. Luckily, with druidry there need be no division between science and spirituality. As much as I can I plan to write about lore and history of human use of these plants as well. I am studying in the Bardic grade currently but am sure I will have more to say once I enter the Ovate grade.
