My new fave wild plant name, hairy puccoon (Lithospermum caroliniense):

And possibly my favorite, goats rue or devils shoelace (Tephrosia virginiana). They are toxic to animals & humans but I love their 2-tone flowers and weird leaves:

John Lennon always comforted people who were grieving because he knew the feeling so well:
"There was one thing about John Lennon. In his steel-trap mind, he never forget what was important to people. Fast forward to May 1975. I had become an anchorman in Philadelphia, and combined with a radio station, our TV station sponsored what was called the "Helping Hand Marathon", a weekend-long radio fund-raiser to benefit area charities, including the one most important to me, the battle against multiple sclerosis (n/t: Larry Kane's mom passed away in 1964 because of sclerosis). With the help of our sales manager, Gene Vassall, I was able to put together a real coup — John Lennon to cohost the marathon for the weekend. From the time I picked him up at the railroad station to his departure on Sunday night, John was sensitive, giving and tireless. On the phone days ahead of the event, he said "Larry, I know this is being done in memory of your mother. I will make this happen and it will be great, baby!".
ㅡ Larry Kane in the book "Memories of John Lennon" by Yoko Ono.
"I've always admired him, and was very proud of the friendship we had together, and the first time John really showed his love for me was after Stuart's death, when he helped me such an awful lot to try and understand my loss —and his as well — and we used to talk about Stuart, and he really got me together again. He wasn't like Paul or George, who felt really sorry for me, and said "Oh, everything will be fine". John just said — it to me one day when I was really, really down and didn’t know what to do — he said "Well, you have got to decide what you want: Do you want to live or do you want to die? Decide that, but be honest". And that helped me tremendously to go on. And then he said that there are so many things we haven't even discovered yet, and life has got to go on, and you can't sit down and cry all the time, you have got to get on, and if it's not for me, he said, it's for Stuart. And he said that in a very harsh voice, not like nice and sweet, but very directly, so that was the real John who was talking. And that made me really think twice about it. It helped me tremendously. That is what I'm still thankful for (...)"
ㅡ Astrid Kirchherr in the book "Memories of John Lennon" by Yoko Ono.
"While they were there, Lily's father, William White, succumbed to a heart attack at age sixty-seven. Over the past few years, Mal had shared with her how intimidating John could be, so Lil was surprised when the Beatle brought her a cup of tea, let down his guard, and showered her with consolation. Like Mal, Lily would always remember John's tender gesture. 'It's very hard at times like these to give verbal comfort to anybody,' Mal wrote, 'but John was fantastic, and I knew that he gave Lil a lot of comfort in her hour of need — something I have always blessed him for.'"
ㅡ Mal Evans in his diary, from the book "Living The Beatles Legend" by Kenneth Womack.

Chapter Eleven: Camellia
Jason gorged on the stew Talia made for him for dinner, and Talia sat with him, tenderly snipping at his curls with her fingers. "Pace yourself," Talia whispered. Jason apologized in a whisper for forgetting his manners. "That isn't the issue... You'll make yourself sick." She was right. Jason could feel his fever setting in as he finished his bowl. "Is the lamb tender enough?" Talia asked. Jason nodded. She had someone take his empty bowl away while she sent him to bed. Jason didn't want to leave her, so he said he was fine. "Mama," Jason whispered as he curled up and lay his head on her lap. Talia leaned over him, tickling his face with her unbound hair. Jason giggled at Talia's display of affection. "Mama, I love you." "I love you too, Jason. Very much," Talia whispered as she leaned back. Jason softened as he glanced up at Talia. "Can we talk about Gotham?" Jason turned his face away and tried to conceal his guilt. He didn't want to tell her what he'd done because he was afraid she wouldn't understand. Talia didn't push him. "Mama? Is the library-. Is it still there?" Jason asked. "Of course. I made some additions to your collection while you were gone," Talia whispered as she gestured for an attendant to bring Jason a blanket. As she draped the thin blanket over him, she started whispering to Jason about how much she and Damian missed him. As he slept, his fever set in, and he tossed and turned on the couch, plagued by nightmares. Jason muttered something in his sleep, and he clenched his fists. Talia did her best to try and soothe him as he slept. "Shh, Jason..." It wasn't until the plane touched down that he awakened with a start. "I'm sorry!" Jason yelled. He stood up and stepped away from Talia with tears in his eyes. His hands shook as he headed to the bathroom to splash his face. "Jason?" Talia whispered. "Where are we?" Jason asked as he stared in the mirror. "Philadelphia," Talia answered, "We've stopped for two hours if you want to take a short walk with me." Jason opened the door just a crack to answer. "I think I'm gonna stay behind," Jason whispered. Talia nodded and left him alone on the jet. He showered and wrapped a towel around his waist as he sat in the sauna. Jason remembered his first weeks on the island and the hammam. He thought about how they scrubbed his skin and how he managed to slip away from consciousness during the baths only to awaken to the jarring massage. Jason leaned forward as sweat dripped from his face, and he shut his eyes. Upon Talia's return, she dropped her bags and slipped off her shoes, running to pull him up and drag him out of the sauna. "No! You know better!" Talia yelled. She wasn't angry, but the volume of her voice made him uneasy. She carried him on her shoulders to the shower and turned the cool water on, letting it run over him while she held him. "Why would you do that?" Jason suddenly found himself without words, but as the cool took effect, he realized he'd done it on purpose. The cold returned him to his senses, and he clutched Talia's wrist. "I would've been okay, Mama," Jason reassured her. His head drooped, and Talia shifted to hold him up better. "What happened in Gotham, Jason?" Talia questioned. Her voice was loud yet sincere.
Jason didn't speak but stood on his feet once he regained strength. He dressed and let his hair air dry. Talia followed him, still soaking wet as she stepped barefoot through the jet. "Jason, what happened in Gotham?" "Everything went fine... I just-. I started wishing I was dead. I didn't want to be alive anymore," Jason whispered, "What that city does to people... It kills them before they die. But the thing is, I've died there three times-." "Twice, Jason-." Jason shook his head. "Three... I killed myself," Jason whispered, "I needed to stop the noise. It doesn't help. I still wake up to nightmares where men hurt women and people overdose on the streets-." "Jason, please... Please look at me," Talia whispered. Jason turned to her, his head bowed in shame. "Don't be ashamed. You can look at me." "I'm ashamed because I'm weak," Jason whispered, "I can't return to Ra's like this... I can't go home-." "He's not concerned with that. Baba wants what he asked you to retrieve," Talia whispered, "I am painfully concerned with your wellbeing." She cradled his face in her hands and kissed his forehead. "How do you cope with what you've seen?" Jason asked. "Experience, my love... You're still so young," Talia answered, "It's all so frightening at first. You don't have to be strong, Jason. Only honest..." Jason pulled away and pressed his face into Talia's shoulder. She let Jason lie on the couch and draped the blanket over him. Talia pulled the shades down on the windows, allowing the jet to be dark. He slept well into the night, not even waking when the plane took off for a second time. It wasn't until six hours later, when they stopped in Tokyo, that Jason began to stir. "Mama?" Jason mumbled. "You've never been to Tokyo... Please, come with me," Talia whispered. Jason smiled at her and nodded. "You will?" Jason nodded once more. Talia grinned and waited for him to go to the bathroom and get dressed. She'd chosen an outfit for him, leaving it on the counter. "How long do we have?" Jason questioned. He stepped out in a corduroy sportscoat and soft-colored pants. Talia smiled and straightened his collar. "You look so handsome," Talia whispered before taking a breath. "I'm sorry. I was busy being a proud mother. We have until sunrise." Jason embraced Talia before rushing past her to the door. She stepped off the jet behind him, and he brushed her shoulder. It was his way of saying he loved her.

We'll drink a drink a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink!
Anyone familiar with that song? The lyrics talk about the "medicinal compound" invented by Lily the Pink, and chronicle the "efficacious" cures it has brought about, such as inducing morbid obesity to cure a weak appetite.
Lydia E. Pinkham brand "Vegetable Compound", containing extract of Piscidia Erythrina (Jamaica Dogwood), Asclepias Tuberosa (Pleurisy Root), Cimicifuga Racemosa (Black Cohosh), Vitamin B1, Dandelion, and other ingredients.
Lydia E. Pinkham, née Estes, (1819-1883) was an American proprietor who commodified her homemade herbal-alcoholic supplements, claiming they could cure any “female complaint” from menstrual discomfort to a prolapsed uterus. Pinkham began making her medicine as a home remedy, which she freely shared with family and friends. In 1875, her “Vegetable Compound” made its debut commercial appearance for $1 a bottle. In Pinkham’s life, the business grew from her cellar kitchen to a manufacturing plant that would gross just under $300,000 a year. The product is still sold today in a modified form.
Though medical experts dismissed Pinkham’s products as quack remedies, the supplements’ popularity among women persisted. Aggressive marketing of Pinkham's products contributed to their acceptance by women; slogans such as “Only a woman can understand a woman’s ills,” targeted the many women who were hesitant to consult male physicians about menstruation or other women’s health issues.
