Growing true

July’s letter to paid subscribers 🌱

Dear friends,

One of the things I love most about the research phase for each illustrated essay is that there is almost always some detail that doesn’t make it into the final story — and which I then get to share with you here, in one of our monthly letters.

To my great delight, this was yet again the case when I wrote about hollyhocks.

June’s inspiration coming to life.

Of all the flowers I’ve written about for Dandelion Seeds over the years — and as you know all too well by now, there are many — the hollyhock might just be the one that had the most to teach me.
