I looked around the garden for something in bloom to photograph when into my ‘minds eye’ came a picture of the red poinsettia out by the driveway. Of course, it is the Holiday Season and they are blooming everywhere here on Kauai. I think every hotel uses thousands of them and then they freely give them away to their employees rather than toss them out like I’m sure they do in not so sympathetic climes.
It isn’t much to look at the rest of the year but rather suddenly it bursts into radiant bloom. I set off to photograph it and was taken by surprise when this little head popped into the view finder. Click! I thought for sure the gecko would jump away immediately as they usually do, but he stayed quite awhile to allow me some more shots. How fun is that?
But it’s the Poinsettia that wants to ‘speak’.
“We would like to say how much we love to be adored at this time of the year when not a lot of other plants are in bloom. We love that red is the color of the season and it is our color too. We love to deck the halls and bring joy to all. We are produced en mass for the Holiday Season so we don’t mind when our time is over, because we know that humans will always grow us to be admired again the next year. We appreciate that, and want to thank all humans who buy or grow or admire us. We want you to know how much we love to share our radiance with you. So, the next time you pass one of us by, be sure to listen, and you will hear us say, we love you, too."
Thank you very much,

A friend of mine is having fabulous experiences making flower essences with her 7 year old daughter. http://www.magicgardening.blogspot.comThat prompted me to look up in the Flower Essences Practitioner’s Manual what the Plant Spirits had to say about this.
Guidance from the Plant Spirits
Greetings Beloved One,
And we are delighted to be with you and know that you are excited to be with us again. We can feel the degree of surrender you are experiencing and are here to fulfill the trust and faith you have in us.
Again we will say to you that these channeling’s are all seeds being planted and may or may not go into your manual. So, you can relax and let the information come through without censoring anything. Yes? (Yes!)
Flower Essences and children? This is one of your wonderings? Yes? (Yes!)
Children are little beings of light. They know no separation especially from Nature. They are little sponges ready to soak up whatever you wash over them. They have total faith and trust in what a loving adult being has for them. They ingest it, take it in and make it a part of their own. This is not something to be abused or taken advantage of. It is something to cherish. These innocents have total openness to what you are teaching them.
So it is a matter of respect to not ‘talk down’ to a child. The same is true for plants. Plants and children are in many ways more connected to the greater spiritual world than most adults, and yet these tender beings are in your ‘hands’ to nurture and watch grow.
That said, we feel an intense desire in children to know more of the magic or shall we say a desire to sustain the dreamlike fantasy worlds they so readily inhabit. These realms are real and the more we can substantiate these realities as seen from the adult world the more well-rounded intuitive beings we will see these children become.
It is important to nurture these intuitive instincts that children are so in sync with. Actually, adults have much to learn from the ‘matter of fact’ way that children take to talking to plants, or guardian angels or whatever spirit guides are with them. Ask a child to ask permission from a plant to pick it and they are more than happy to oblige. They will be back soon to tell you what the plant said to them without hesitation or inherent disbelief.
So you see, children have much to offer you in terms of interspecies communication. Who is teaching who here? You must be prepared for questions you cannot answer.
You must not make up something, but rather direct that query back to the Plant Spirit and see what answer the child ‘gets.’ This will be most instructive for you.
Ultimately the greatest gift here is not how or why to make a flower essence, but in teaching the ability to ask and receive guidance from within. The Flower Essence is a wonderful bridge between the dimensions; something the Plant Spirit gives as a lasting memento of the relationship that has or is being developed. This teaches a child or anyone to send and receive telepathic communication in the form of imagery or imagination or insights that come in a flash. These can take some time to accurately translate into human language but is well worth the effort.
This is a valuable tool that will assist and have ramifications of dimensionality in the shaping of these young ones into well-rounded adults. For once you have received guidance from these realms and acted upon it with astounding results, there is no place for skepticism.
You see you are shaping a whole new breed of human that can interact with Nature as living breathing beings that share space with you on this beautiful planet. This type of adult would never conceive of cutting down a grandfather tree, let alone a beautiful flower that has provided healing on many levels. So you see there are far reaching goals that could go beyond the simple making of a Flower Essence.
So, yes, by all means, teach the children how to communicate with plants and then sit back and be ready to learn from them. It will be very good for them to see that there are adults that go into these dimensions, too. It is not just ‘their imagination” as they are so often taught. Imagination is wonderful. Imagination is a sensing instrument. The sixth sense as it is often called. It is something to be honored, to be cultivated, and to be explored. You see there is much to learn from children and vise versa. But then we hope you will have learned by now that you can trust Nature as your teacher.
Peace be with you, my beloved one.
I hope this will inspire and enlighten you on many levels as it did me.
Many blessing,
Marissa

It has been quite awhile since I have visited this blog. I have been writing on my www.magicgardening.blogsot.com since last fall when I moved and started my very own Magic Garden. At least it seemed like it to me because I was growing outrageous veggies in December like never before. Also, at that time a friend of mine wanted to include my writings on her site and she wanted a ‘health tip’ article. That began a series of articles that came from my experiences in the Magic Garden along with what I had learned from Hawaiian healing herb classes I had taken and employed in my life with good success.
Also, at my new place, I was able to grow in profusion many of the flowers that are characters in my children’s book; Ask Althea. It has given me time to reflect on their personalities and why I cast them as such. In particular I think of the Sunflower, supposedly, the bringer of smiley faces everywhere. Why did I make ‘him’ the grumpy devils’ advocate? Perhaps those with the biggest hearts hide behind serious faces so as not to hurt those big hearts. I see my sunflower go from shinning bright erect head reaching for the sky, to head hanging low under the weight of it all looking at the ground. Well, rather than guess about these things, I think it would be wise to ask Sunny’s Spirit what ‘he’ thinks.
Aloha Marissa this is Sunny,
And I am glad you asked me abut these things that seem to be so blatant in my physical characteristics. But you see that is merely the human view as you said. From my perspective I open myself to the Sun from which I am named so as to produce those seeds that seem to weigh me down. But in plant life seeds are our way to insure that we go on so it is not a burden to bend for them to grow. But the important thing is that it makes it hard for birds to come and feast on my seeds if I am in that position. As for your book, I was very happy to play the gruff one who later is the catalyst for the unfolding of the little boy’s spiritual growth. He needed to know that we care. That was the sentiment that shifted him out of his anger and into compassion or caring for others as well.
Thank you, Sunny.
I can see that no bird could perch and feast in that position. Good point. I, on the other hand, plan to gather as many seeds a possible for future planting, hoping I will have better yields than the many packs I bought and planted with no luck. What’s up with that?
It’s called LOVE Marissa.
As you know and have written about ‘seeds will do anything for love’ (see your very first blog spot). You have given us much love and attention, so, of course, we will grow for you in abundance. You will especially want to collect my seeds as I am the first to grow and be with you in full force. It took a while to convince the others and consequently their seeds will not be as strong but they will not go to waste. Some will reseed and some will cross pollinate and some will try again. You could have fun with them.
Thank you. I will take note and let them all go to seed now that I know this is a big part of your growth cycle. Shall I plant the new seed just underneath and all around you?
Because you live in such a mild climate that is an option but you see we still have our genetically entrenched cycles so it will have to be an ‘experiment’, as you love to say.
Ok, I get it. It will have to be an ‘experiment’, and, I will hold some back to be planted in the spring.
That would be nice.
And we look forward to being with you again soon.
Thank you so much for those wonderful insights and for your fabulous presence in our garden this year. I see how your bigness and broad perspective helped everyone to unleash the LOVE from within. And I look forward to many more seasons, ‘experiments’ and being with YOU again soon.
Many blessing,
Much love,
Marissa
