Flora Friday - Seaside Daisy

-
Hello all! Today's Flora Friday is the Seaside Daisy!



Seaside Daisy (Erigeron Glaucus) belongs to the Erigeron genus and the Compositae family. Other names include:

- Seaside Fleabane
- Beach Aster

Not to be confused with Alpine Fleabane!





Where To Find

Seaside Daisy is native to America, specifically, the coastlines of California and Oregon. This plant likes coastal areas, beaches and dunes but, there is a specific forest in California where these flowers can be found.




Edible Parts

Apparently, this plant is edible! Some parts of the plant can be eaten raw (leaves and stems) but it is recommended to cook them to remove the little hairs on them. I would still check with local experts before consuming!




Medicinal Uses

I have found reference to Native Americans using this plant for its antioxidant, expectorant, neuroprotective and diuretic properties. If you know of any other medicinal properties, let me know!!




Magical Uses

I can't find any specific uses for Seaside Daisy so, if you like, you can assign your own!




Victorian Flower Language

I couldn't find a specific meaning for Seaside Daisy but Daisy in general means innocence.

I hope you've enjoyed this post!

Ancestral Work (part 1 )

 Ancestral Communication and Work. Hi Guys, It's me again, as this is work that I have been actively doing, and Cat and I agreed that I would do this post for you. It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...
