Dry
No
harsher sign
of Summer’s end
than
Mullein leaves,
now parchment curls
where
palest softest
healing velvet was. ¶ 5:17 pm

An interesting plant I had not heard of before - and it has so many uses too! My Australian herb bible tells me it is available here and makes a suggestion for black mullein, that the dried stems with round seed capsules can be used in floral arrangements - either in their natural colour or spray painted bronze or gold. I'll be watching out for this plant now.
A very nice poem, Jean. Everything supposed to be green and growing here looks like that plant now. We have had so little rain this summer.
Argh, I hate the fall! No, not hate. But I am always sad when the summer is ending, however beautiful the fall can be.
