    Hello, hello! So lovely to be back and be sharing our first episode of 2026 in which Sarah takes us into the curious world of the Camellia. Don’t be fooled by its beauty and abundance, this flower has a layered and more powerful past than you might expect. In this episode we wander about gently through history, folklore, politics and fashion houses. Plus, it wouldn’t be an episode about a pretty flower with at least one reference to a noble death, right? In amongst that creepy revelation we talk about memory keeping, notebooks, perfumes that evoke images of ‘theatre and posh old ladies’ and the lengths humans go to, just to have flowers in their lives, no matter the era.Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and maybe don’t pluck flowers from mysterious trees...Books* The Language of Flowers by Odessa Begay* A Year in Flowers by Erin Benzakein* Floriography by Jessica Roux* The Complete Language of Flowers by S.

  • Hellebore

    Hellebore
    2025/12/20

    In this episode of Flowers & Folklore, we step into the shadowy world of the hellebore: a flower with rich history and many contradictions - the light and the dark.

    We explore how this moody bloom has been linked to Christianity and witchcraft in equal measure, how it was used to create some surprising “magical powers”, its role in some juicy ancient goss and also there’s some goats eating things they absolutely shouldn’t.

    To fully explore this little flower’s backstory we fall down more than one rabbit hole, but all of them bring us to the same conclusion - you’ll never look at The Christmas Rose the same way again.
