Misty Mountains

It's getting warmer here in the desert and Alaska is sounding might cool right about now.  Especially those mornings when the mist hangs softly in the air.  It is so quiet and peaceful, the whole experience is very surreal.

Love in a Mist

These beautiful flowers, native to Mediterranean countries and Western Asia have a long history of use in folk medicine.  I just don't know what they were used to treat.  They make a good cut flower and also can be found in white and lilac.  And I have no idea where the common name originated or what it means.
