Honeysuckle for Harmony

April 13, 2013 — flower essence, honeysuckle

My favorite flower essence is made from the honeysuckle flower.  As children this flower may have been part of our regular enchantment with nature.  Most of us were taught how to pull the stamen down and suck the nectar out of the flower for fun and some insect style nutrition.  I have two large plants that supply fragrance like crazy.  I make and drink fresh essence from the flowers in mass qualities.  It tastes like it smells, and the emotional remedy it supplies is deep release from past experiences.  It is both edible and drinkable.  It has been used for centuries medicinally.  You can’t go wrong with honeysuckle, even if you just sit next to it an breathe.  It is a happiness plant.  The flowers start white and turn yellow as they age.
