FLOWERS TO HEARTEN WINTER BLUES -
JUNE'S LILAC CORNER
JUNE'S LILAC CORNER - lilaclady99
The Indians used to use it for wounds,
burns, and insect bites,
chewing of roots for toothache and throat infections;
THE PURPLE CORNFLOWER
OR
ECHINACEA
This plant I give to you
It is an annual.
It blooms about July - September
Although it does not have a sweet fragrance,
It has a decided strong ODOR
that speaks of SOLID COMFORT
When the flower fades, and the petals drop,
the seeds in the brown center
are left
for me to pick
and to dry
on newspaper or on paper towels.
What I used to do
was
place this under a table or
where it would dry without any sun.
====
If you have land - and a place to plant
This is a good one to grow.
It will reseed itself
Year after year usually.
Echinacea is a genus, or group of herbaceous flowering plants
in the daisy family. The Echinacea genus has nine species, which are
commonly called coneflowers,
Here it is growing
As it is a member of the Daisy family
it will grow back year after year.
ECHINACEA PURPUREA
burns, and insect bites,
chewing of roots for toothache and throat infections;
Although it was used for coughs and colds,
it has some serious side effects if
taken internally, so I do not recommend it
for anything but external
or like for a toothache.
If you want to know more
about ECHINACEA PURPUREA
just type in this name,
and you
can search it out.
I FOUND THAT IT MADE A BEAUTIFUL SHOW OF
FLOWERS EVERY SUMMER TO FALL. IF YOU
KEEP PICKING THE FADED FLOWERS, IT
WILL BLOOM MORE, JUST LIKE THE SHASTA DAISIES.
The COMFORT JESUS GIVES
IS FOR FOREVER
Psalm 55 verse 22
CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD
AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE.
Psalm 56. 3
WHAT TIME I AM AFRAID, I WILL TRUST IN THEE.
Psalm 56.10,11
IN GOD WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD: IN THE LORD
WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD.
IN GOD HAVE I PUT MY TRUST;
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

Matthew 13.37
HE THAT SOWETH THE GOOD SEED IS THE SON OF MAN.
Ephesians 2.8 - 10
FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH;
AND THAT, NOT OF YOURSELVES,
IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD,
NOT OF WORKS
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST,
FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP
CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD
WORKS WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE
ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
BY FAITH I WALK - I WILL KEEP ON CLIMBING
HIGHER YET HIGHER
THE SOUL'S JOURNEY GOES
THE PILGRIM KNOWS HE IS GOING
TO THE PROMISED LAND
AND THAT GOD HIMSELF
IS OUR COMFORT
OUR STRENGTH
AND
OUR HOPE.
