Flowerology is a collection of the stories behind the names of our wildflowers. You can find and follow it on Substack here: flowerology.substack.com - it's free to subscribe. (Note this link will open in a new tab.)
The stories come from ancient myths and legends as well as fairy tales, folklore and ancient medicinal uses and are full of magic, fierce warriors, sorcerers, nasty diseases, goblins, wild beasts and dastardly deeds.
The stories span thousands of years and are entirely based on the etymology of wildflowers.
