Interesting Finds of the Week!

[Flowerteacher55]

Hi, Friends! ❤️

I hope you are all doing well. 

I wanted to reach out and share some interesting and happy finds from this week that I felt compelled to share with you! 

I work in an achives unit. One of the collections we are currently working with are thousands of plant samples that have been preserved from the 1800s. While imaging and working with the samples the other day, I came across a plant species called Herpestis. 

When I saw this I was like, "Woah that's so funny and interesting! I wonder what the plant looks like!" So, of course, I opened the folder and the plants were gorgeous. The plants pictured below are from river banks from the state of Delaware, from 1848, collected by Thomas P. James (botanist). 

If you look up the Herpestis/Herpestris plant family, you will see pretty flowering plants, like these: 

When you get overwhelmed and you feel dirty or bad or unlovable, stop the negative thoughts and replace them with, "I am pure, I am good, I am lovable and so loved; I accept and love myself as I truly am," and think about these plants, and remember that you can grow through what you go through!

And, while shopping for cat treats yesterday, I came across this bag of cat treats...

I started laughing because I did not expect to see Lysine supplements for cats, and I have no idea why these treats are almost $11.00 USD.

Try and find laughter and sunshine wherever you are, because you deserve to be happy!

Love yourself and be kinder to yourself, because you are purr-fect just the way you are ❤️😺

If you find anything that might make our days brighter, feel free to add to this post and comment with your interesting finds! 🙂☀️  

☀️ Blessings to all! ☀️
