In this episode of Flowers & Folklore, we dive into the surprising history and tales surrounding the humble “bit-like-a-granny's-handbag' nasturtium, from its gory Greek naming origins to its gentle flower fairy depictions.We discover why this bright orange bloom was once associated with warriors and triumph, how Beatrix Potter, Claude Monet, and Cicely Mary Barker each captured its charm, and why it was once thought to repel serpents and bring good fortune. Along the way, we chat about Tales of the Shire (and Tolkien's opinionated spelling choices), there's poetry by Anne Spencer of the Harlem Renaissance, plus we uncover the curious Elizabeth Linnaeus phenomenon, and disappear down a rabbit hole over our mutual obsession with miniatures.It's a magical episode that'll make you see nasturtiums in a whole new (flashing?) light.Books, Art & Poetry* The Language of Flowers by Odessa Begay* Unearthing The Secret Garden by Martha McDowell* The Flower Fairies Alphabet (1934) by Cicely Mary Barker — “Nasturtium the Jolly” poem & illustration* The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter (Nasturtiums in Mr. McGregor's garden)* Lines to a Nasturtium poem by Anne Bethel Spencer * The Witch's Garden by Sandra Lawrence* Country Life article by Mark Diacono: “In praise of the humble nasturtium”* “How to do the flowers” by Constance SpryArtworks* Nasturtiums in a Blue Vase by Claude Monet* Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit nasturtium illustration* Cicely Mary Barker's Nasturtium FairyGames & Fun Bits* Tales of the Shire game by Wētā Workshop* Snaps from Sarah's Halloween dried floral headdress workshop * Dollhouse project & miniature-making course (affiliate link, also you can get 10% off your whole order with the code: KEELEY) Picture below of the beginning of Keeley's Brambly Hedge treehouse.Bonus video of Sarah's foster boy Bruno “helping” to clean up after the workshop:Have your own regional stories or nasturtium lore?

Using artworks by Berthe Morisot, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others, The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Dr. Justine De Young explores how women and artists in Impressionist Paris (1855-1885) crafted their public images to exploit and resist stereotypes.French societal expectations and beauty ideals shaped how women were seen and how they chose to present themselves in public – whether on the street, in a photograph, or in a portrait on the walls of the annual Paris Salon. On Paris's broad new boulevards and in its public parks and theaters, women dressed to impress anonymous strangers as well as their friends. They even circulated aspirational photographs of themselves. Looking at a rich array of visual sources – from portraits to modern-life paintings, and from photographs to fashion plates – Dr. De Young reveals how women were seen, how they aspired to be seen, and how they navigated public life in Second Empire and Belle Époque Paris.This book considers how fashionable feminine “types” made famous in books, caricatures, and paintings created a visual lexicon and stylistic guide for women. Men and women alike relied on these types – cocotte (mistress), jeune veuve (young widow), amazone (independent equestrienne), demoiselle de magasin (shopgirl), and Parisienne (chic Parisian woman) – to judge the class, character, morality, and worth of strangers. With a rich set of illustrations from the Impressionist canon and beyond, The Art of Parisian Chic shows how modern women used fashion and these stereotypes to construct and reinvent their identities. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a textThe digital age promises connection yet delivers isolation for countless people drowning in information while starving for meaning. In this profound episode, Dr. Douglas James Cotrell and co-host Les Hubert explore the spiritual crisis lurking beneath our technological abundance.We begin by examining the paradox of modern loneliness—how constant digital stimulation creates a restless mind that cannot settle into spiritual reflection. Drawing from decades of spiritual practice, Dr. Douglas reveals how meditation works not through rigid postures but by quieting what he calls the "monkey mind" to access the steady, purposeful "elephant mind." This transition allows us to tap into deeper wisdom and even access other dimensions of consciousness.The conversation takes a fascinating turn with Les sharing his encounter with Kasim Hafiz, a former jihadist whose journey toward peace began with simply questioning what he'd been taught. This powerful story illustrates how truth-seeking can transform even the most deeply held beliefs when approached with an open heart.The hosts also explore Antarctica's mysteries, including recent discoveries of structures beneath the ice and unexplained radio signals, before discussing Claude Monet's artistic vision as a form of spiritual perception. Dr. Douglas suggests that true artists access other realms of consciousness, bringing back visions that the rest of us can only glimpse through their work.Throughout the episode, practical wisdom emerges: the importance of distinguishing between wants and needs, how to escape the slavery of debt, and understanding that our responsibility extends only to "arm's length"—focusing on what we can control while surrendering the rest. For those feeling adrift in our hyper-connected yet spiritually disconnected world, this conversation offers a compass to navigate back to authentic connection with yourself and others.Support the show

Traumhafte Dörfer, malerische Strände, mondäne Küsten-Orte, bewegende Weltgeschichte, phantastisches Essen - die Normandie ist eine der wundervollsten Gegenden dieser Welt. Gesegnet mit einem Klima und Landschaften, die schon so viele in ihren Bann gezogen haben. Allen voran Impressionisten wie Claude Monet, dessen Gärten und Seerosen-Teich wir in Giverny besuchen. Ebenso wie unfassbar schicke Orte wie Honfleur, Étretat (mit seinen monumentalen Klippen), das betörende Seebad Cabourg plus viele Highlights abseits der gängigen Pfade. Hinzu kommen die Landungsstrände, an denen einst die Alliierten das Ende des 2. Weltkriegs einleiteten. Und immer wieder diese kulinarischen Highlights - sei es himmlischer Käse, Cidre, Calvados oder einfach die französische Finesse in der Küche. Eine Reise durch die Normandie ist eine Reise zu so vielen Top-Highlights wie man sie nur selten erlebt auf dieser Welt. Und über allem schwebt die bezaubernde Schönheit dieses Landstriches im Nordwesten Frankreichs.Diese Folge entstand mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Normandie Tourisme und seinen Partnern.Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.Noch mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es in unserem Newsletter-Magazin.

On today's episode, producer Drew explores the fascinating intersection of science, psychology, and the way we experience art. Inspired by the museum's current lighting renovation, Drew sits down with Jackson Councilman, a recent college graduate with a concentration in neuroscience and former intern for the CMA's communications department, to unpack how light waves interact with the human eye, colorblindness, and how the work of Claude Monet may have been influenced by ultraviolet light. After the break, USC psychology professor Dr. Melanie Palomares joins the conversation to discuss how the brain processes visual information, the connections between Gestalt theory and the work of artist Bridget Riley, and why attention plays such a critical role in how we see.

BURNING CITIES CONTINUED, THEN AND NOW.  1/8: Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism by  Sebastian Smee  (Author) 1871 PARIS   https://www.amazon.com/Paris-Ruins-Love-Birth-Impressionism/dp/1324006951/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0LrrcogTAXmGjiJTXHGqcmh6tG316iU_qBRT5krAjbY8X2w9audnxQy7kzk7OLkh_2lSbQ2ybUZGAqxzqsV7SIXXh__kEnq4cHn6QdDz3Vu5xuCtROqvHYC4bnq-Wd16OQ0xBFKI0YF5Q12M2HxhsXNW0KzxEvl3JkXmjEm-lB835FTP4AOXbZmDkXRwFFwP8JAim1mTpk-tRD1mx2eyRyT4izNxH2zOMi6vWoub4fk.sBKL5PJ8cK_YQQ9SXWo2jUROfRmEzorpra10Qr1m--0&dib_tag=se&qid=1739487181&refinements=p_27%3ASebastian+Smee&s=books&sr=1-1 From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the “Terrible Year” by Victor Hugo, Paris and its people were besieged, starved, and forced into surrender by Germans―then imperiled again as radical republicans established a breakaway Commune, ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles and the burning of central Paris. As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

Claude Monet (1840–1926) foi um dos fundadores e principais expoentes do movimento impressionista, revolucionando a história da arte com sua abordagem inovadora da luz e da cor. Nascido em Paris e criado na Normandia, Monet desenvolveu desde cedo uma sensibilidade única para a natureza e suas transformações. Seu quadro Impressão, Nascer do Sol (1872) deu nome ao movimento impressionista. Ao longo de sua carreira, dedicou-se a capturar os efeitos transitórios da luz sobre a paisagem, muitas vezes pintando o mesmo motivo em diferentes horários e condições atmosféricas.Essa é a nossa história de hoje.

Aunque pertenecen a distintas familias, ambas especies tienen en común que crecen en aguas pantanosas, charcas, o lagunas y lagos poco profundos. Lo que más admiro de estas plantas es que se alimentan del lodo que se acumula en los fondos de esas zonas, pero de esa materia tan aparentemente impura producen unas flores de extraordinaria belleza.En diversas religiones orientales, como el budismo, así como entre los antiguos egipcios, lotos y nenúfares se consideraban flores sagradas, o al menos estaban asociadas a simbolismos religiosos relacionados con la pureza espiritual. Incluso están representadas en los capiteles de las columnas de algunos templos, como los de Luxor y Karnak.El significado de la flor de loto o del nenúfar en esas culturas casi se impone por sí mismo, ya que el agua lodosa que nutre la planta está asociada con el pecado y los deseos carnales, y la flor impecable que parece subir escapando de los fondos fangosos, en busca de la luz, representa la belleza de la pureza y de la elevación espiritual.Es interesante saber que el pintor Claude Monet concedió especial atención precisamente a los nenúfares, de los que pintó entre 1898 y 1926 unos 250 cuadros. Las tres últimas décadas de su vida están dedicadas casi exclusivamente a ese motivo. Su obra más conocida es sin duda la serie de ocho lienzos de gran formato que representan solo nenúfares en diversos momentos del día, inspirados en el jardín que el artista tenía en Giverny. Esta serie, que ocupa completamente la sala no 1 del Museo de la Orangerie de Paris, se conoce hoy como «la Capilla Sixtina del impresionismo». Se ha comentado que es la expresión de una experiencia espiritual, como si el espejo de agua sobre el que flotan los nenúfares fuera también el reflejo de las propias figuraciones del alma del artista en busca de pureza y quietud.En la cultura bíblica, el corazón es la sede metafórica de la vida moral. Ser puro de corazón, o tener el corazón limpio, significa estar libre de falsedad y de malicia en este centro íntimo de los pensamientos y de los sentimientos. Por eso algunas versiones traducen así esta declaración de Jesús: «Felices los que tienen limpia la conciencia, porque ellos verán a Dios» (BLP).Señor, deseo verte. Purifica mi corazón para que, como el nenúfar, se mantenga siempre limpio.

As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

2/8: Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism Hardcover – September 10, 2024 by  Sebastian Smee  (Author) 1870 PARIS https://www.amazon.com/Paris-Ruins-Love-Birth-Impressionism/dp/1324006951/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0LrrcogTAXmGjiJTXHGqcmh6tG316iU_qBRT5krAjbY8X2w9audnxQy7kzk7OLkh_2lSbQ2ybUZGAqxzqsV7SIXXh__kEnq4cHn6QdDz3Vu5xuCtROqvHYC4bnq-Wd16OQ0xBFKI0YF5Q12M2HxhsXNW0KzxEvl3JkXmjEm-lB835FTP4AOXbZmDkXRwFFwP8JAim1mTpk-tRD1mx2eyRyT4izNxH2zOMi6vWoub4fk.sBKL5PJ8cK_YQQ9SXWo2jUROfRmEzorpra10Qr1m--0&dib_tag=se&qid=1739487181&refinements=p_27%3ASebastian+Smee&s=books&sr=1-1 From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the “Terrible Year” by Victor Hugo, Paris and its people were besieged, starved, and forced into surrender by Germans―then imperiled again as radical republicans established a breakaway Commune, ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles and the burning of central Paris. As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

The interview was conducted in September 2024 in the Willis Pavilion, beside the house today known as Villa Oasis which was built by French Orientalist painter, Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s, and later owned by Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Bergé. Adjacent to the home is the famed Majorelle Garden. Madison was born September 23, 1958, in Bellingham, Washington, and raised in San Francisco and Marin County, California.  As a garden designer and author of books about gardens, he has traveled extensively across the United States and Europe as well as to Japan, China, Russia, India, North Africa, and Australia.  Madison's passion for garden design has also extended to lecturing, leading garden tours in France and Italy, and book publications.  He has lectured across the United States and Canada: at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as at the Portland Garden Club and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Madison Cox is the author of Private Gardens of Paris (Harmony Books, 1989), co-author of Gardens of the World (Macmillan, 1991), and with photographer Erica Lennard, of Artists' Gardens: from Claude Monet to Jennifer Bartlett (Abrams, 1993), and Majorelle: A Moroccan Oasis (Vendome Press, 1999). Cox wrote the preface for The Gardener's Garden (Phaidon, 2014).

His first visit to the country was in 1979.  While he was a student in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé invited him as part of a small group down to Marrakech for a long weekend. During our sit-down, Madison covers: - The difference between Marrakech in the 1970s and today - The nostalgia for Tangier (where Madison has a home) - The rich backstory behind Villa Oasis and the Majorelle Garden - Yves Saint Laurent's love for Morocco (he first visited in 1966) and how the country significantly impacted his work - The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts which is housed in the former painting studio of Jacques Majorelle, in the garden - The Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech - How Morocco has impacted his own approach to designing gardens.
