What Bloomed in the Darkgarden // a story by ehoney

Chapter 39: Night Blooming Jasmine

There was a path Elain could see behind her. A path to flee, to winnow away, to find safety, to allow others to take the worst of the blows. A lovely road she knew all too well. Lined with stifling, sweet roses. Leading somewhere far brighter; far easier. There was a window at the end of the path. There was someone staring through it.

She might have been a girl. She might have been a rose. She was beautiful and she was dying. Stolen from the earth too soon, caged behind a window. Withering on display, savored for her rare beauty. With sharper thorns, she might have once warded away her misfortunes. Now the porcelain perfection of her skin was a tomb, an endless rot hidden beneath. She was exquisite, even in her decay. Still yet clinging to that cold glass; that bleak broken promise. She would soon rot in a grave of her own making. She needed someone to unlock the latch. “Won’t you open the window,” the girl whispered through the night. A bloody tear trailed down her face, and the Ether ebbed away.

I’m very excited to be sharing this amazing work from @liminal_11 with you all. It was written by @rosdottir who also did the amazing cover art! I love this book because it explores dark, sinister and poisonous plants. Not just ones that kill with phytotoxins but also plants that have developed their baneful nature in other ways! I’ll be doing a more detailed review and possibly a live commentary. Thank you so much to @thepoisonpalm for sharing this gem with me! 💚🖤💚 #poisonhistory #toxicology #thepoisonaffairs #ethnobotany #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #poisonmagic #poisonousplants #poisonlore #deadlyplants #poisonbooks #toxicologybooks #booksonpoison #thepoisonpath #veneficium #banefulherbs #pharmakeia #deadlyplants #darkgarden #witchsgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CMauIywHuKA/?igshid=n06222afcjzh

A little something in the works for Autumn! I’ve been diving deeper into my interests in gargoyles, creature statuary, and of course my never-ending obsession with gardens, so I had a lot of fun combining those subjects to create this drawing. You may remember my post a while back, recounting the daydreams induced by this creation, and I can’t help but feel this piece is a gateway, obviously literally, but even more so figuratively. It is a portal that leads to a dark, ethereal grove nestled within my inner world, ancient and forgotten yet blooming anew. 🌿 #poisonappleprintshop #darkgarden #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/BziWvRcnq7R/?igshid=9ma5aso1kht4
