Flower to the People!

Eve's Folly is more than just a snarky blog and a lot of jokes about flowers being sex organs.
Eve's Folly is a movement, a mindset, and a mission. Or at least, it will be soon. I hope.
​If that sounds a bit like I'm trying to start a cult, well - yes! I pretty much am. A cult of plant-loving powerhouses that aren't afraid to share the love.

To be clear, I'm not talking about environmentalism, organic farming, or veganism. There are enough other people talking about that stuff. (And as a plant lover, I think veganism is murder. I aspire to be exclusively carnivorous). No, I'm talking about the lessons we can learn from plantlife. I swear it's not as crazy as it sounds.

Back when we were an agrarian society, or even hunter-gatherers, we understood some very valuable things that I think have been lost in our modern information age. When you live, work, and subsist on a close relationship with the world of Flora you learn patience and persistence: Plants don't just bloom and fruit overnight. You also learn acceptance and adaptability: Bugs and fungus happen, crops fail, berry bushes get all picked over or eaten by birds. But you don't give up just because things don't go your way. There's always a new season, a new beginning.

See where I'm going with all this? I'm working on a concept I like to call plant psychology. Again, it's not as crazy as it sounds. I think understanding the natural cycles of plantlife can give us poor, flawed humans the key to happiness. So yeah, I'm starting a cult. A flower cult. It will be the prettiest cult ever. Join me. Flower to the People!
