To guide you along the musical flowers in my global garden,
I invented the Global Sampler. This is volume 11 and it tells
you where to find the honey of your taste.
It shows the flowers planted between August 17 and August 31.
As usual there’s quite some variation, we got sweet, bittersweet
and a tiny bit of Queenjelly perhaps, but that’s all up to you.
Suck some in and have a groovy taste, hummingbirds.
