Plant of the Day

Sunday 17 September 2023

The short-lived perennial Verbena bonariensis (purpletop vervain, clustertop vervain, Argentinian vervain) is a great plant for a late summer and early autumn display. In this sunny front garden it was thriving on a well drained soil and contrasted with the dark purple foliage of Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' (elder). Mature plants can succumb to the winter but self-sown seedlings often survive.

Lanceleaf Frogfruit

Phyla lanceolata

This perennial species in the verbena family is native to much of the United States and Mexico. It's usually found growing in disturbed wetlands, ditches, or yards and provides nectar for many beneficial insects when it blooms during summer.

The plant pictured was in disturbed bottomland woods near Butler Lake and the Meramec River in southern St. Louis County, Missouri, USA

A lot of the articles or blurbs I read about verbena flowers claim they're a symbol of healing. :)

Get to Know Your Tav

Tagged by @starknstarwars, thanks! 💜

Tagging anyone who wants to do it, and specifically @mimabeann, @ladyorin, @dameaylin, @keldae, @greyias

Verbena

What is your tav’s favorite weapon?

She becomes very fond of the Pale Oak staff she receives in the Emerald Grove. She carries it everywhere not because it's the best option but because it reminds her what it feels like to finally be accepted. That feeling alone is enough to give her extra confidence against all odds.

style of combat?

Every step is calculated. Verbena doesn't rush into the fray but steps back and takes a good look at her opponents. She seeks any weak spot to exploit, any tactical advantage. And then she's ready to kick ass.

most prized possession?

Her old lyre. It was the only possession she took when she ran away from the childhood home. It has become the only friend that stayed by her side for years. She cares for it reverently, fussing over every speck of dirt and every little scratch.

deepest desire?

Her every granted wish turned out to be a double-edged sword, so she's afraid to truly want something. She desperately wanted a family and got adopted by abusive narcissists. She wanted to make the world better and ended up hurting people. She wanted the freedom to choose her own path and got it at the cost of being completely alone. Maybe it's safer not to want anything at all.

guilty pleasure?

She's addicted to shiny things. You can't convince her to sell all the jewelry she looted in exchange for something more practical like camp supplies. No, she will wear rings on every finger instead.

best-kept secret

Her entire past. She shares bits and pieces when she must, like when she encounters shadow druids who recognize her. But she puts these pieces into a whole picture only after reaching Baldur's Gate.

greatest strength?

Perceptiveness. She's very good at reading people and picking up on little cues after years of hypervigilance.

fatal flaw?

Secrecy. She seems so open, surely you can trust her to tell you everything? Wrong. You can bare your soul to her without learning anything in return. She won't talk about the enemies that may come back to haunt her or about the fact that she might unexpectedly die at any moment. Not until you press her or until it's too late. And when you demand to know why she withheld this important information, she just shrugs. "You didn't ask," she says.

favorite smell?

The way the air smells after a thunderstorm. It makes her feel like the world has been renewed, washed clean of all cruelty and injustice. If only this feeling could last.

favorite spell or cantrip?

She has a favorite spell for every situation. Combat? Thorn whip or Ice knife. Too many enemies? Invisibility. Trying to talk it out instead of fighting? Detect thoughts.

pet peeve?

She can't stand bullies and gladly uses every opportunity to put them in their place.

bad habit?

She can't walk past an animal without attempting to talk to it. And every dead body has a story, let's summon the spirit of that decomposing guy! It's time-consuming for her and exasperating for others, but she just can't help herself.

hidden talent?

Can sneak like a pro. She's been doing it all her life – staying out of trouble in the orphanage, hiding from her parents when they were in one of their volatile moods, evading suspicious people in her travels.

leisure activity?

She loves calm evenings when she can just sit back, play her lyre, and finally finish the lyrics that have been stuck in her head for days.

favorite drink?

She likes to come up with her own tea blends. Not all or her attempts are successful, but she will drink them anyway and then share the good blends with others. She also loves mulled wine, but only if she gets to be in charge of spices. She always complains that taverns make the blandest mulled wine and whoever is responsible for it should be in jail.

comfort food?

Freshly baked bread. She can't make it and rarely visits cities, so it feels like such a luxurious treat.

favorite person(s)?

The friends she meets while trying to get rid of the damn parasite, she has no one else. She burned all the bridges to her past and resigned herself to being alone because she was denied love and control everywhere she went. And it's so strange and wonderful to bond with someone after all that loneliness. Maybe she's terrified of Lae'zel and tempted to kick Astarion's ass. Maybe at first she doesn't trust anyone in her party and expects betrayal. But these weird traumatized people find their way into her heart and stay there forever.

favored display of affection (platonic and/or romantic)?

It's easier for her to be physically affectionate in her wild shape. Verbena as a cat shamelessly bonks her friends and purrs in their laps. Verbena as a tiefling is a little awkward and touch-starved, but she learns to enjoy hugs very much.

fondest childhood memory?

Childhood memories are tricky. She fondly remembers her best friend from the orphanage, but thinking of the orphanage itself makes her blood run cold. She remembers when her parents were affectionate and generous, but then she recalls how they used her for their entertainment. Every memory is tainted, every bright moment leaves a bitter aftertaste.

free-response! Is there anything else about your Tav you’d like to share?

The party has no idea that a friendly cat who often shows up in their camp is actually Verbena. And then she uses her wild shape in front of them to investigate without alerting nearby enemies. The party is shook. Gale apologizes for petting her.

#bg3 #that's a lot of questions but I also have so many thoughts so #verbena

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 10 October 2023

A great addition to an herbaceous border, a gravel garden and prairie-style planting schemes with ornamental grasses is Verbena bonariensis (Argentinian vervain). It thrives in a moist but well-drained soil in full sun. As a short-lived perennial plants will self-seed freely, but in colder regions they may need protection from frost.
