What does it mean to be trendy? When clients announce to me that they are “not trendy” upon first consultation, I know that it means one or a combination of these 3 things: “I have definitive opinions about what I do and don't like.” “I want the selections in my space to have staying power, i.e. I don't want my space to feel dated in a couple of years.” “I want to feel seen in my space.” Many times they have invested in products or services that haven't aged well. Or conversely, they have made choices they loved in the past. And now what they see in the retail market isn't their vibe, yet they feel the need to update. I often get asked about the Colors promoted as “color of the year” by the different companies. Specifically, I get asked what I think. I have come to recognize that it is a loaded question. In this episode, I tell you EXACTLY what I think. The muzzle's off! I have some pretty strong opinions: They get cerebral: bringing in Rudolf Steiner's writings on color energetics. His analysis of color he refers to as Peach Blossom in his 1921 lectures on color is relevant in this discussion of Pantone's selection of Peach Fuzz for 2024 over 100 years later! The energetics of a color matter. They get subjective: I was sailing the deep, history-laden parts of the Mediterranean when Benjamin Moore's Blue Nova and it's corresponding color palette was unveiled. They get biased: a girl's gotta have favorites! I explain the difference between a “trend”- which is a forecast with underlying significance. And a “selection”- which is a marketing tactic designed to speak to a particular demographic. We do live in a consumer-driven society, after all. Your home should reflect your individuality, inspire you, and propel you forward. You can understand yourself by understanding how you gravitate toward (or run from!) a color palette and unlock what's right for YOU!

Does having a mirror in the bedroom lead to the presence of a third party? Is there any truth in this perception or is it a misconception? Feng shui nowadays can be virtually anything lumped together. Just the mere mention of 'feng shui' seems to lend credibility to an idea or an instant solution to a problem. To truly practice and benefit from Classical Feng Shui, we need to be able to distinguish the difference. Modern or New Age Feng Shui is more of an art form and relies on lucky objects, good luck symbols, color therapy; transformational and aspirational concepts. New Age Feng Shui 'cures' are largely drawn from cultural beliefs, superstitions, and symbols; oftentimes to encourage positive thinking. Classical Feng Shui, utilizes the theories and principles found in ancient texts written from the Tang Dynasty. It uses the compass and formulas to compute the qi maps of properties, observes landforms to find qi, and taps into the energies of the environment through location or direction. Know the difference and decide which type of feng shui will truly help you achieve your goals. ___________________________________________________ New Consultation Package!

Episode 113. A-ha moments are not one and done. This week, John and Timothy explore a sake brand that was a sake "A-ha 2.0" for them both. Perhaps a bit less well known in Japan compared to some other so-called cult sakes, Kamikokoro is a brand from Okayama that is winning new fans around the world. Kamikokoro has harnessed the power of their renowned local fruit - Yume Hakuto White Peaches - to take their sake to the next level. The Kamikokoro Tokagen Nama sake tasted in this episode uses yeast from the peach blossoms to express a deep and rich fruitiness that steers clear of tropical notes to focus in on stone-fruit and citrus. And if you're interested in Japanese peach folklore, you'll surely want to first sip some sake and then listen in to our retelling of Momotaro, the legend of the boy born from a peach who teams up with a monkey, dog and pheasant to defeat a bunch of Orge bullies. Lets explore the power of Kamikokoro's peachy sake. hashtag peach emoji!#SakeRevolutionSupport the show

Each animal in Chinese astrology provides different energy In Chinese astrology the four pillars of destiny are used, as well as including the year, month, day and time that people are born. The power of attraction doesn't just apply to love and romance. It can also aid us in other areas of our life such as business / vocation. BEST MOMENTS ‘When we look at the energies around us, there are a couple of things we can tap into' 'If you're born in the year of the rabbit then great! You could have the Peach Blossom star for the year' 'If you're looking for romance, this is helpful.

'Melissa Fu portrays the time, the culture, the place and the struggles of this family so vividly, with nuance and colour and life . . . A stunning achievement' CHRISTY LEFTERI, AUTHOR OF THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO 'An immersive, expertly plotted and elegantly written novel . . . championing the vitality and ingenuity of the immigrant experience' SHARLENE TEO, AUTHOR OF PONTI With every misfortune there is a blessing and within every blessing, the seeds of misfortune, and so it goes, until the end of time. It is 1938 in China, and the Japanese are advancing. A young mother, Meilin, is forced to flee her burning city with her four-year-old son, Renshu, and embark on an epic journey across China. For comfort, they turn to their most treasured possession - a beautifully illustrated hand scroll. Its ancient fables offer solace and wisdom as they travel through their ravaged country, seeking refuge. Years later, Renshu has settled in America as Henry Dao. His daughter is desperate to understand her heritage, but he refuses to talk about his childhood. How can he keep his family safe in this new land when the weight of his history threatens to drag them down? Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. It's about the power of our past, the hope for a better future, and the search for a place to call home.

Peach blossom is favored by the Chinese people not only because of its beauty, but also the cultural connotation it contains thanks to an article composed more than two millennia ago. And of course it won't be just for the blossom that the plant of peach has been enchanting the Chinese for so many centuries. Shen Ting tells you more about it.

In this episode, we discuss 17th-century Chinese play, The Peach Blossom Fan by Kong Shangren. We consider the parallels between the play and HBO's Watchmen in terms of theatricality. Additionally we compare the symbolism of the the Peach Blossom Fan itself with the Heart of the Ocean from Titanic We utilize the Norton Anthology of World Literature, 3rd Edition, volume D.

Take two gardeners. They grow up learning to garden from the same person. They read the same books on gardening. They go to the same gardening workshops. They tour the same public gardens. Yet, their gardens will look different from each other. Unique. Gardens are art. They are personal. Remember that the next time you are trying to copy the look of another garden. The difference isn't just topographical... When it comes to your garden: yes, consider microclimates, plant varieties, soil, sun, and so forth. But also, make sure to add yourself to the list of variables. Brevities #OTD Today is the birthday of botanist Count Alexandre Henri Gabriel de Cassini born on this day in 1781. His second great grandfather was the famous Italian astronomer, Giovanni Domenico Cassini; he discovered Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the Cassini division in Saturn's rings. By the time Alexander was born, his family had married into French nobility (that's why he was born in Paris). Unfortunately, it was a bad time to go to France. Their Italian heritage and scientific work would not insulate the Cassini's from public resentment as the stage was set for the French Revolution. Cassini took a decidedly different path than his ancestors. He was the fifth generation in a family of star scholars, so Alexandre is often distinguished from the rest of his family as Cassini V. Cassini pursued the bar instead of the stars; as in the legal profession. As a lawyer, Cassini worked his way to the highest legal position in France in his time; "President of the Chamber." Like many folks, botany was his hobby; not his day job. It is quite notable that Cassini's botanical accomplishments took place in his off time. Cassini's heart belonged to the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and he focused pretty much exclusively on the Compositae. It was fitting then, that the genus Cassinia(the sunflower genus) was named in his honor by the botanist Robert Brown. Over two hundred years later, many of Cassini’s detailed descriptions are still valid. Cassini married his cousin. At the age of fifty, Cassini died of cholera. His father outlived him by thirteen years. Alexandre Cassini was the last of his name; a punctuation mark on the wonderful Cassini legacy. #OTD On this day in 1807, Lewis and Clark returned a book that they had borrowed from Benjamin Smith and Barton to help them on their expedition. Before they had started their track, Meriwether Lewishad visited Bartonat his home. Upon leaving, he left with a copy of The History of Louisianaby Antoine le Page. Lewis memorialized the gesture in the flyleaf of the book. Here's what he wrote: "Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton was so obliging as to lend me this copy of Mons. le Page's History of Louisiana in June 1803. It has been since conveyed by me to the Pacific ocean through the interior of North America on my late tour thither and is now returned to its proprietor by his friends and obedient servant, Meriwether Lewis. Philadelphia, May 9, 1807." #OTD On this day in 1888 in Delaware, the Peach Blossom was voted in as the State Flower. Peach blossoms are a beautiful, deep pink color. The blooms appear very early in the year. Frost is always a concern. The fruit is botanically known as a drupe; It has a fleshy outer layer that covers a hard shell which contains a single seed. The decision to go with the peach blossom, was prompted by Delaware's reputation as the peach state. At the time, Delaware was known as the peach state and she boasted orchards containing more than 800,000 peach trees (Prunus persico, a native of China). Delaware's peach trees were introduced by the Spanish. By the 1600s, peaches were so plentiful, it was said that Delaware farmers fed them to their pigs. By 1875, Delaware was the country's top peach producer... until the yellows. The yellows was a blight that destroyed Delaware's orchards. In the late 1800s, Delaware was knocked from the top spot as a peach producer. Today, Delaware produces roughly 2,000,000 pounds of peaches every year. America's leading peach grower is the state of California, producing 950,000 tons annually. Unearthed Words #OTD It's the birthday of botanist Hewett Cottrell Watson, the father of British plant geography born today in 1804. Watson investigated the variability of British plant species across their ranges & compared the flora of Britain to the Azores. In recognition of his great contributions, the botanical society of the British Isles named their journal Watsonia. Beginning in 1834, Watson was one of the first botanists to research plant evolution. Watsons work also paved the way for a new science now known as ecology. When Darwin created his theory of evolution, he was standing on the shoulders of curious early evolutionists like Watson. Darwin's popularity and success overshadowed the folks like Watson who came before him. Yet, it's obvious that when Watson read Darwin's Origin, his reaction was one of wonder... and also self reflection. He spent his adult life trying to reach Darwin's conclusion. Now as an old man, he could see the match he had lit being passed to a true torch-bringer. After reading origin, Watson wrote to Darwin. His letter is part proud dad, part awed fan, and yet, he still takes time to advise Darwin on areas to improve or take heed. In two different passages, Watson points out that Darwin had succeeded where he had stopped short; saying Darwin had figured out the quo modo or the method to knit the strings of the theory of evolution together. Watsons letter to Darwin is quite something to read – even after all this time: 21 Nov 1859 My dear Sir Once commenced to read the ‘Origin’I could not rest till I had galloped through the whole.I shall now begin to re-read it more deliberately. Meantime I am tempted to write you the first impressions, not doubting that they will in the main be the permanent impressions. 1st. Your leading idea will assuredly become recognized as an established truth in science, i.e. “natural selection”. (It has the characteristics of all great natural truths, clarifying what was obscure, simplifying what was intricate, adding greatly to previous knowledge). You arethe greatest Revolutionist in natural history of this century, if not of all centuries. 2d. You will perhaps need in some degree to limit or modify, ... the principle of ‘natural selection’. 3d. Now these novel views are brought fairly before the scientific public, it seems truly remarkable how so many of them could have failed to see their right road sooner... A quarter century ago, you & I must have been in something like the same state of mind,on the main question. But you were able to see & work out the quo modoof the succession, the all-important thing,while I failed to grasp it. ... How greatly this,with your chronology of animal life,will shock the ideas of many men! very sincerely | Hewett C. Watson C. Darwin | Esqe Darwin Correspondence Project, “Letter no. 2540,” accessed on 26 April 2019, http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/DCP-LETT-2540 Today's book recommendation: A Nation in Bloom: Celebrating the People, Plants & Places of the Royal Horticultural Society by Matthew Biggs The foreword is written by Alan Titchmarsh. This is a book about the RHS; the world's largest gardening charity but what it does and why is little understood and rarely celebrated. From defining new gardening trends at the Chelsea Flower Show, to ranking the best dahlias to grow at the Wisley trial grounds, to inspiring communities with Britain in Bloom, educating children to grow and eat their veg through the Campaign for School Gardening, the RHS works tirelessly to improve the gardener's lot. With the use of evocative archive images and contemporary photos by award-winning Jason Ingram, this beautiful book explores the past, present and future of this most influential organization by listening to the voices of those working today. From the thousands of volunteers in the society's five unique gardens (Wisley in Surrey, Rosemoor in Devon, Hyde Hall in Essex, Harlow Carr in Yorkshire and new addition Bridgewater in Salford), to the one million visitors to its inspirational flower shows (including Chelsea, Hampton Court, Tatton Park, Cardiff, Wisley and Chatsworth); the society gives meaning to more than 475,000 members, millions of television viewers and visitors from around the world. The RHS is the best of gardening, and this book presents the best of the RHS. Behind the scenes, access all areas, this book will give lasting pleasure to anyone who enjoys their garden. Today's Garden Chore Repeat after me: Prune time follows bloom time. Not sure when to prune spring-flowering shrubs like lilacs, and climbing roses? Prune time follows bloom time. Just after the blooms fade, it's time to prune. Spring flowering shrubs set their buds in the fall on last year's growth. If you prune them in fall or winter, you remove next spring's flower buds. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart While I was researching the adoption of the Peach Blossom as the Delaware State Flower, I ran across a botanist named Erwin Frink Smith. Smith had attempted to solve the problem of the peach yellows. Had Smith solved the problem, he will would have become world-famous. But, he didn't. Years later, it was actually the botanist Louis Otto Kunkel who discovered that a type of leafhopper was carrying the disease. In researching Smith, I discovered a rare combination of kindness and intellect. Smith married the pretty Charlotte Mae buffet on April 13, 1893.They were quite happy together. They shared a love for reading and poetry. Tragically, Charlotte was diagnosed with endocarditis and she died eight months later on December 28, 1906. Smith dealt with his grief by putting together a book made up of poetry, stories, and a biography of Charlotte. The book is called for her friends and mine: A book of aspirations, dreams and memories. Of it, Smith says, "This book is a cycle of my life— seven lonely years are in it. The long ode(on page 62) is a cry of pain." There are many touching passages – too many to share here now. (There's a link to it in the show notes that you can use to access it.) But there's one passage from Smith describing her amazing ability to see the world with profound clarity and I thought you'd like it: Her visual powers were remarkable. They far exceeded my own. Out of doors her keen eyes were always prying into the habits of all sorts of living things: ants, spiders, bees, wasps, fish, birds, cats, dogs. Had she cared for classification, which she did not, and been willing to make careful records, she might have become an expert naturalist. Form in nature seemed to interest her little, or at least comparative studies of form. What did interest her tremendously was the grade of intelligence manifested in the lower forms of life. She would spend hours watching the habits of birds and insects, and never without discovering new and interesting things. Whether she looked into the tops of the tallest trees, or the bottom of a stream, or the grass at her feet, she was always finding marvels of adaptation to wonder at, and links binding the world of life into a golden whole. She made lists of all the birds that visited her neighborhood. She knew most of them by their songs, and some times distinguished individuals of the same species by little differences in their notes, as once a song-sparrow at Woods Hole, which had two added notes. She knew when they nested and where, how they made their nests, and what food they brought to their young. In studying birds she used an opera glass, not a shotgun. She was, however, a very good shot with the revolver. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Yang Ye speaks about the Chinese poet Tao Qian (365-427), also known as Tao Yuanming, who is famed for his tale “The Record of the Peach Blossom Spring,” about a fisherman who discovers a hidden utopia. Ye discusses the tale’s genesis, changing variations, and universal nature as a literary motif about an ideal world. Ye is associate professor of Chinese and comparative literature at the University of California, Riverside.
The good, the bad and the ugly. It’s not just the name of an old Clint Eastwood movie. It’s also a fitting way to think about this year’s Oregon Shakespeare Festival, currently running in Ashland on OSF’s three world-class stages. Yesterday I talked about the VERY GOOD "Head Over Heels," a new musical by Jeff Whitty of "Avenue Q" fame. With summer kicking into gear, there are several shows running on those three stages, and that’s one of the good ones. So let me tell you about the BAD and the UGLY, both of which could be used to describe OSF’s unsatisfying staging of Shakespeare’s "Antony and Cleopatra." Tony and Cleo has NEVER been an easy play to produce. Directors have to find clever ways to establish a coherent tone that’s not actually suggested in the script, which - sorry Mr. Shakespeare - is a bit of a mess. OSF’s Artistic Director Bill Rauch helms this production. Usually spot-on, Rauch appears to have decided to just follow Shakespeare’s unfocused lead, the result being a sometimes entertaining, frequently baffling mish-mash of tonal inconsistencies. By pushing the comedic moments to goofy excess, it diminishes, rather than enhances, the whole flow of the show. Consider the arrival of a bumbling snake seller who acts like an extra from T.V.s Hee-Haw show, a bit of outrageousness that comes just seconds before the tragic demise of a major character. And after watching the supposedly middle-aged Antony and Cleopatra act like lovesick puppies for thirty minutes, it’s hard to feel bad for them when their world starts to crumble under the weight of their irresponsible actions. That’s the point, of course, to show how great societies are often destroyed by the acts of selfish rulers, but it’s just inconceivable that the real Tony and Cleo would have run around squealing and clapping like toddlers at a birthday watching the clown tie balloon animals. Such choices leave the entire enterprise foundering in a kind of dramatic uncertainty. This is a tragedy, after all. In this production, that’s true in many ways. Let’s move back to the category of the GOOD, with the clever, emotionally rich "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land," written and directed by Stan Lai. The American premiere is a translation of a Chinese play originally performed in in 1986, shortly after the 40-year ban on communication between China and Taiwan had been lifted and families long-separated were taking steps at reunion. In its first-ever English version, Lai takes the original script - a kind of site-specific experiment in which two theater companies attempt to rehearse on the same space - and tailors it to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which is referred to often by name, along with numerous suggestions that someone should call Bill Rauch - mentioned earlier - to come straighten out the mess. One of the plays, the deadly serious drama "Secret Love," is being directed by a Stan Lai stand- in known only as Director, putting his race-blind cast through the paces of a story clearly based on the loss of his one great love. When a group of Chinese-American comedians crash the theater, insisting Bill Rauch has given them the space for their rehearsal, a strange back-and-forth ensues. With an outrageously silly send-up of the ancient Chinese fable Peach Blossom Land - about an unhappily married man who finds a magical world where all his dreams come true, but pines for the wife who never really loved him - the newcomers agree to share the space, with some very funny, genuinely touching results. Oregon Shakespeare Festival runs through November 1. www.osfashland.org I’m David Templeton, Second Row Center, for KRCB.
