Why Am I So Obsessed with the Acanthus Plant Right Now?
The blooming of our acanthus plant today in the garden that my partner and I have created together now connects us to the vast tapestry of the acanthus' history, stretching back through millennia. In that single bloom, I see the mythology of the plant, the echoes of Corinthian columns, Arts & Crafts wallpaper, now alive and flourishing in our garden in Southern Austria.
