These are Papaver cambrium, the Welsh poppy.  These poppies like it wetter and shadier than their California cousins.  What were little patches of these are turning into lush big patches in Mom and Dad’s yard.

This morning I have done battle with the brambles and nettles in my parents garden. I’m going to claim I won the fight - the border I was clearing is now free of them - but my right arm, which is now stinging vigorously, would beg to differ. Anyway, have a flower!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good December! These were my contributions to the @welcomehomefanzine winter zine! I managed to do more art this time too! For my contributions I wanted to draw art on various Winter traditions from different cultures, such as also my own! If you decide to colour in any of these, please @ me!!

Also keep in mind, we are not affiliated with Clown or the team behind WH, we are just fans who love the work!!

I wrote more on all the artworks under the cut! Including the traditions they were based on!

First one was a little visual pun on the first verse of '12 Days of Christmas', Poppy is the partridge in the pear tree! Not much to say about this one, it's my only Christmas related thing! Second one was based on the Southern Welsh winter tradition of the Mari Lwyd. The Mari Lwyd is a hobby horse made from a horse's skull and is then decorated. It is puppeteered to go to the doors of various houses where its handlers will sing verses on letting it in to the home, you are supposed to sing back excuses on why you can't let it in, and if you relent, you invite the Mari Lwyd and its handlers in your home, where it will eat your food and alcohol and terrorise your children! The tradition and its true origins and meaning and even etymology is unknown, but it's thought to have ancient Pagan roots! It seems here, Eddie relented in his songs to it and regretted everything immediately after!

Third image is another Poppy centric piece because I love her. Here she is dressed up as a figure from Schnabelperchten! This is a tradition seen only in Rauris Valley in Austria and is a manifestation of Perchta, a goddess from Alpine Paganism that took the form of a old woman who'd punish misbehaving children by slitting their bellies. For Schnabelperchten, on the 5th of January, figures dressed in smocks, jackets, and a beak-like mask will visit various homes to check their upkeep and cleanliness all while emitting a soft 'ga ga ga', in more ancient versions of the legend, if you did not keep your living quarters in good enough conditions, the Schnabelperchten would slit open your belly and dump all the rubbish inside! Poppy would never do that though! No one tell her about that part!! Last but not least is one based on a tradition from my culture! Here you see the entire neighbourhood celebrating Yalda Night and spending time with one anotherThis is a Persian/Iranian festival with Zoroastrian roots held on the Winter Solstice. This day was traditionally seen as ill omened as being the darkest day of the year, the forces of Ahriman and his Deevs were most active, and so much of the day entailed family and friends getting together in good company. They would read stories and poems (especially the Shahnameh or poems by Hafez) with nuts and various fruits from previous harvests being served, watermelon and pomegranates being the most prominent! It was also encouraged to stay well up after midnight lest misfortune befall you! Due to it also being the longest night, it was also seen as the birthdate of the sun deity Mehr (or Mithra), as the subsequent days would get longer.

This was all fun to do and I hope I did all these traditons justice!! I am most likely missing out a lot on my explanations for them, so I hope I at least peaked your interest in these different Winter festivities enough to look into them on your own!

Ok but Jegulus raising Harry means the kid is a multilingual king by the age of 5. Obviously growing up in England in a mostly english speaking environment, he picks it up first. BUT both his dads are bilingual and make an effort to immerse him in those languages as well. He gets babysat by Effie and Monty a lot as a baby and that’s where he picks up most of his hindi from (because Naanee and Graipee will have nothing but a cultured grandson, thank you very much). He also picks up french quite kickly, because for all of Walburga and Orion’s fault, the way they thoughts their children language was quite efficient, so Regulus spends all of Harry’s early years saying things in english than repeating them to him in french (uncle padfoot also contributes greatly to Harry’s french, which is why it isn’t as eloquently spoken as his father’s). On the topic of uncle Padfoot, he loves spending time at their cottage in Wales and always asks uncle Moony to read him welsh story books, and after a while Remus starts speaking welsh with him and Harry kinda just picks it up as he goes. So that’s 4 languages already, but we can’t forget granny Minnie, who takes Harry to Hogwarts every few weekends to give his dads a little break (and to enjoy her adoptive grandson, though she never admits it to anyone but Poppy), and that’s how Harry learns scottish gaelic (because obviously Minerva’s fluent in scottish gaelic). So that’s how Harry speaks 5 languages before hitting the age to attend muggle primary school.

Cerridwen

Deity Of: Magic, wisdom, transformation, poetry, creativity, herbalism Animals: white pig, crow, hen, hare Crystals: moonstone, selenite Herbs & Trees: vervain, wheat, barley, oak, poppy Favorite Offerings: grains, acorns, pork, vervain leaves Symbols: Cauldron, white sow, grain

Cerridwen was an enchantress from Welsh legend and the mother of a beautiful daughter, Creirwy, and a hideous son, Morfran. Cerridwen knew that her son would never be accepted because of his looks, so she sought to make a potion that would make him the wisest man alive in compensation.

She began to brew a potion in her magical cauldron that would grant her son the gift of wisdom and poetic inspiration, also called Awen. The potion had to brew for a year and a day, so she set a blind man named Morda to tend the fire, and a young boy named Gwion Bach to stir the potion. Once completed, the first three drops would grant the gift of Awen and the rest was fatal poison.

On the final day of the brewing, when the potion was ready, the boy spilled three drops of it onto his thumb. Instinctively, he put his thumb in his mouth to sooth the burn, thus consuming the wisdom and inspiration meant for Morfran. Understanding what he had done, Gwion Bach fled to avoid Cerridwen's anger.

She gave chase, and using the powers of the potion, Gwion Bach attempted to elude her by transforming into a series of animals. He became a hare and Cerridwen became a greyhound. He became a salmon and jumped into the river, and she became an otter. He became a sparrow and she became a hawk. Finally, he turned into a single kernel of corn and Cerridwen turned into a hen and ate him.

Because of the potion, he was not destroyed and instead Cerridwen became pregnant. She vowed to kill him when he was born, but the baby was so beautiful that she could not bring herself to do it. Instead, she placed the baby in a coracle and pushed him out to sea. He was rescued on the Welsh shore by a prince and grew up to become the legendary bard, Taliesin.

Seed-saving some of those great Welsh poppies that are growing at my parents house.  I’ve got many spots at my place where these would be a nice addition.

Plant-wise these are Papaver cambricum, related to bread seed poppies, and the seed pods are taller/slimmer with the open vestibules on the top.  Seeds are scattered in nature by wind or anything brushing past the plant that shakes the stems.

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 30 May 2023

In the wall of this lane in Stromness, Orkney, the Meconopsis cambrica (welsh poppy) is flowering. This species has yellow or orange flowers and will happily grow in the sun or shade. It will self-seed in the spaces in paths, walls and between plants in a woodland border.
