This plant can be grown as an annual, biennial or short-lived, evergreen perennial. It has so many lovely common names.

Sussex, England -- The illustrious Shirley Collins will be releasing her new album Heart’s Ease on July 24 via Domino. The second single from the upcoming record is “Sweet Greens and Blues”. With the track spanning just under 5.5 minutes long, Collins really lets the various string instruments shine. From the gentle picking of the guitar to her earthy, steady vocals, “Sweet Greens and Blues” embodies a warmth like no other. While this is one of the album’s non-traditional tracks, there is a quirky lilt to it that’ll entrance listeners.

I wasn't looking for solutions so much as I was looking for sympathy--to know that someone cared, not that I was cared for.

The Met online doesn't provide any information on this particular painting, which is a shame because it looks to be a depiction of a child on his or her deathbed, so it would be nice to know something of their identity. If anyone has a printed source that might be of some help, then please let me know!
