Oh boy what am I getting myself into

This is Yellow Jessamine- a perennial vine native to my area, it's great for pollinators- producing yellow flowers that bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies just love

But man I strongly dislike it.

As a child I planted some in my garden- it died

Or so I thought

This bad boy came back and completely obliterated my garden, it spread wildly and took over everything in its path, by the time my childhood interest in gardening rekindled I was left with this to clean up.

It took weeks of breaking my back to finally get it all up

Except I didn't. You can't get it all out- the roots of mine we're everywhere and while I pulled up most of them there were a few stragglers what were too hard to get rid of

And now the boy is back and instead of waging war I'm offering the olive branch

Everywhere he comes up I'm just going to post him up

And when he gets big enough I'm sending him to the edge of the property that my good ol creek is on, where he will begin to wage a far greater war than either of us could imagine- the fight against the lawn, along the fence that separates the forest from the neighbors I will plant him and he will grow, blooming, attracting bees, supporting the ecosystem

If you're going to grow yellow jessamine make sure it's a native species for one, and two make sure that you plant it where your okay with it spreading, it can grow 5 feet a year when it's established

I look forward to the day when I get to trespass and leave this baby behind, I think he'll do good out there.

Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling

Today's sapphic book of the day is Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling!

Summary: "Powerful shipping magnate Evelyn Perdanu lives a tight, contained life, holding herself at a distance from all who would get close to her. Her family is dead, her country is dying, and when something foul comes to the city of Delphinium, the brittle, perilous existence she's built for herself is strained to breaking.

When one of her ships arrives in dock, she counts herself lucky that it made it through the military blockades slowly strangling her city. But one by one, the crew fall ill with a mysterious sickness: an intense light in their eyes and obsessive behavior, followed by a catatonic stupor. Even as Evelyn works to exonerate her company of bringing plague into her besieged capital city, more and more cases develop, and the afflicted all share one singular obsession: her.

Panicked and paranoid, she retreats to her estate, which rests on a foundation of secrets: the deaths of her family, the poisons and cures that hasten the dissolution of the remaining upper classes, and a rebel soldier, incapacitated and held hostage in a desperate bid for information. But the afflicted are closing in on her, and bringing the attention of the law with them. Evelyn must unearth her connection to the spreading illness, and fast, before it takes root inside her home and destroys all that she has built."

So I just finished Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling and it feels like a novella written specifically for me. Self-hating powerful ruthless lesbian and a Fucked Up Sapphic Dynamic of mutually making-each-other-worse and making-each-other-better and loyalty and paranoia, with hints of delicious worldbuilding and some excellent writing. I had such a good time and my heart hurts.

Observation by lseleen on iNaturalist

A yellow jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) flower that fell from somewhere higher up, and just so happened to land perfectly on this honeysuckle vine, so it looks like it's coming from this vine. I just thought it was funny.

[ID: A photograph of a honeysuckle ving climbing a tree, with a slightly fuzzy brown stem, and dark green leaves that are curled slightly, emerging in clusters. Atop one cluster is a yellow, trumpet shaped flower from a yellow-jessamine vine. Some mostly bare tree branches and a blue sky are visible in the background. End ID.]
