Friday Food Review…Edible Flowers…Part 2…Cornflower, Rosella and Jasmine flowers…
I watch all…well most of the cooking programmes…I love Masterchef and Great British Menu and I am in awe of the beautiful presentation of the food if I can ever-present food that resembles those dishes just a little then I will be a happy bunny.
Lots of the FB and Instagram posts portray such beautiful food often adorned with pretty flowers which seems to be something of the norm now…BUT….. DO…

TL;DR – We explore all the beautiful flowers I came across during my recent trip to Gladstone.
Flowers of Gladstone –
Earlier this week, it was the Day of the Wattle here in Australia, and with that in mind, I thought I would share some photos of flowers I took on my recent trip to Gladstone, on the central coast of Queensland.

Plant Daddies - Episode 3
This isn't about colors. This is about the Triangular Theory of Love in Hidden Agenda, but it's like lasagna; it has layers. Tee, is this about Step by Step?!
I wrote about plant symbolism in Hidden Agenda in Plant Daddies at Tea Time:
Yellow Chrysanthemum, the tea Zo drinks, represents slighted or neglected love and the taste of its tea is sweet.
And Red Roselle, the juice Joke drinks, represents romantic love or passion and the taste of its juice is sour.
The boys stick to those drinks.
But this week they switched without any comment.
Also, Zo told two stories this week from his Legends of Love book:
Red Roses get their color from the blood of Adonis mixing with the tears of Aphrodite seeping into the ground which caused the roses to change from white to red.
Yellow Sunflowers exist because Clytie fell in love with the sun god, Apollo, so when he left her, she looked at the sun so long that she grew roots and turned into a sunflower.
Both stories deal with a person losing the person she loves. However, the roses story is about love being taken away, and the sunflower story is about love leaving. Also, Zo stated he would cry if he lost his love, while Joke stated he wouldn't leave that person in the first place.
Yet Nita's take on the story is to move on from the past and find someone else.
Once again, this isn't about colors, but we now have two separate occasions where plants/flowers are included in the narrative, and those items are color-coded yellow and red, which only adds to the way we are seeing those colors pop up in the show with a third color.
I mentioned in the Plant Daddies at Tea Time post that primary colors seem to be intentional in the show because this episode, the only colored clothing Joke handed Zo when they were shopping was yellow.
Yet by the end, Zo was in blue with his yellow backpack.
So what does this have to do with the Triangular Theory of Love?
Well, all things come in threes:
The Primary Colors:
Red
Yellow
Blue
These are the basic colors needed to make all other colors; therefore, all colors start from these three, and all colors stem from these three colors.
The Love Triangle:
Joke likes Zo.
Zo likes Nita.
Nita likes Joke?
Issue - We don't know if Nita does still have feelings for Joke because her response to the story seemed as if she would get over Joke.
The Dating Rules:
Rule #1 - Do not gawk at your love interest.
Rule #2 - Ease into it. Don't rush. Oh, AND CONSENT!
Rule #3 - Do whatever Joke says.
Rule #3 - Stay true to yourself starting with the first date.
Issue - Joke seems to have problems sticking to his own rules.
The Triangular Theory of Love:
"It breaks down love into three components."
Passion - Zo is passionate about pursuing Nita.
Intimacy - Joke tells Zo he must ask Nita out to build this.
Commitment - And once they begin to date, this will evolve.
Issue - Zo already notices his heart isn't fluttering around Nita the way he thought it would, yet his heart seems to be doing something around Joke, which is maybe why Joke continues to advise Zo to do some self-reflection and try new things.
Because just like Khai and Third in the correctly titled Theory of Love, this process isn't just for Zo, but Joke:
Passion - Joke is passionate about getting Zo by any means necessary.
Commitment - Joke is committed to this bit, he made Zo give him explicit promises (to work together, to help him get in the debate team), and he already stated he would be committed in a relationship during their story time.
Intimacy - This is what Joke is lacking, which is why he developed this huge scheme to get Zo to spend more time with him.
The Balance:
Is this a story about finding the middle ground between two extremes?
So far, we have a story about Joke, a passionate guy who drinks sour red roselle juice and openly admits to being aggressive about love like the thorns of a rose, trying to develop intimacy with a boy who drinks sweet yellow chrysanthemum tea and says he would just stare at what he can't have than go after it like a sunflower in order to show his commitment . . .
Then both of these boys need each other to find that balance between their two ways of loving.
Joke has launched in elaborate plan to get Zo while Zo was willing to admire Nita from a distance for the rest of his life. Zo can't just stare at his crush (Rule #1), and Joke can't rush into things (Rule #2), yet neither has been truly themself from the start to get the other person (Rule #3).
In order to make this work:
Joke needs to learn sweet intimacy.
And Zo needs to understand burning passion.
So they can find a balance and be able to commit to each other when the time comes.
And maybe that will help their friends find a good balance between the secrets they hide in the dark and the looks they give in the light.
And maybe even rethink how they see things so they can find new meaning in what has been in front of them the entire time.
Because that look was more than what Kot said. Right?

"that's quite a spill"
one of my favorite parts of episode 5 is when joke accidentally spills the roselle juice on zo's bright white jacket. it's yet another iteration of the 'food as queerness' motif that @respectthepetty, among others, has pointed out. this time, the roselle juice is employed to show us that zo's feelings about joke have changed, and no matter how hard he tries, he won't be able to ignore them.
roselle juice is made from hibiscus flowers, which are said to symbolize romantic love and passion. joke enjoys roselle juice, but zo dislikes it and is reluctant to drink it at the beginning of the series. zo dislikes trying new things in general, preferring to stick with the things he's familiar with.
but joke keeps encouraging him to try new things, to feel new things, and now joke's roselle juice is splattered all over zo's bright white jacket. right over his heart, for everyone to see (including his mother). it's his very own scarlet letter, revealing and damning in its implications.
zo's feelings for joke are bleeding into his previously neat, carefully controlled world, staining it with color. and zo can't wash it out, can't make it go away, can no longer hide it. the stain is too dark, too large, too persistent.
as much as zo wants things between joke and him to stay the same, as much as he tries to claim he hasn't changed, nothing is the same. because zo used to dislike roselle juice. but now, when his mom asks what he wants to eat, he finds himself looking at the red stain on his jacket, murmuring 'roselle juice'...

[A variation of] agua fresca [...] has its origins in the culture of the Mexica (Aztec) [...]. Nearly synonymous with the global tropics and subtropics, hibiscus has become a symbolic representation of the Caribbean’s transnational past, present, and future. Both the flower and the people who have long cared for it found their way to the Caribbean as a result of transatlantic flows that accompanied European imperial expansion. [...]
It’s widely assumed that hibiscus first made its way to the Caribbean from Africa, a continent that has long been home to a wide variety of hibiscus flowers. Among them are Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) and Roselle/hibiscus/bissap (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in the African Savanna Complex and Okra/gumbo (Hibiscus esculentus L.) in the West African Savanna-Forest Complex. [...] The narratives of hibiscus migration are often associated with the violent histories of the Atlantic slave trade. [...] As noted by Judith Carney and Richard N. Rosomoff in [...] In the Shadow of Slavery: Africa’s Botanical Legacy in the Atlantic World, enslaved peoples mobilized food as a way to survive and thrive despite the violence inflicted against them, particularly by cultivating kitchen gardens. [...] These plots had different names in different parts of the Caribbean, such as conucos in the Hispanic Caribbean, kunukus in the Dutch Caribbean, and “ground provisions” in the West Indies. [...] [T]hey made a home [...], with Hibiscus becoming a staple garden plant, mainly consumed as a herbal beverage, called by different names in various parts of Africa (bissap, wonjo, foléré, dabileni, tsobo, zobo, or sobolo). In the Americas, the drink is referred to as sorrel or agua de Jamaica. [...]
Hibiscus also has deep roots in Asia, which is the homeplace of various species of the genus. The introduction of Asian species to the Caribbean via indentured servants added another layer to the narratives of forced labor and migration in the region.
Imperial powers supplemented enslaved labor in the plantation system with indentured labor -- a system of bonded exploitation that followed the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Between 1837 and 1920, more than 2.2 million Chinese, Indians, Javanese, Malagasy, and free Africans were indentured on tropical plantations [...].
Hibiscus tiliaceus, for example, is one species that arrived with indentured Indians. As elaborated by Tobagonian scholar Brinsley Samaroo, this plant had various purposes; it was used for [...] worship, in toothbrushing, as fodder for animals, and for creating hedges and flower gardens. [...]
These practices show interesting parallels in how the diasporic communities of African and Indian descent in the Caribbean have mobilized the plant [...].

Heartslabyul 4
Summary: The seeds at Sam’s shop were on sale. You figured that would be a fun time for the plant nymphs, so you took them there. Let’s hope they don’t go over the budget.
“And, off you go,” Like a pack of dogs being held back by leashes, you loosened your grip and watch as Ace, Deuce, Cater and even Trey skitter across the floor. They made straight for the little shelves packed neatly with little bags of seeds. All of them had little slashes over the original prices. A sales day.
“Look at those little imps go,” Sam almost sighed in wonder, but then looked down to the roseling still on your shoulders, “Oh? What’s wrong? Is the sale not to your liking?”
“Nope,” you said, slowly getting up so as to not make Riddle fall, ”Riddle likes to pretend he has more class than the rest of them.“
“Pretend?” Sam hopped over to your side.
“Just look at him.” You gestured to Riddle. His arms may be crossed, but his eyes kept shifting to the packets of white rose seeds. One little foot would shift its weight to the other. Just so he doesn’t fidget himself off, you swiped it off the shelf and handed it to him. “Here you go.”
Riddle squeaked, holding the packet high in the air before you heard the telltale sound of something ripping.
“No,” you pressed on Riddle’s head, “patience. I have to buy them first.” You looked out to the shelves before you, spotting Ace carrying at least eight colorful packages of seeds upon his back, Deuce with only two, Cater pushing a huge pile with his clones, and Trey with his modest one, “Don’t go opening them yet! I have see if I can afford them.”
You probably can, you have a decent amount of money left over but still, you like to have a healthy portion in case of some disaster. Better to be safe than sorry.
“Seems our little customers have spoken!” Sam clapped his hands and winked, “Let me just ring them up for you.”
“Wait a minute!” You waved him down, “I need to check.”
It’s your money you’re spending. Besides, too many seeds means they’re gonna try and expand the garden beyond your walls. You don’t want them potentially getting into any territory fights with any of the local wildlife.
You crouched down when the little servant plant nymphs made it to your feet. Out of annoyance, you poked Ace and Cater on their heads.
“You both have no self-control. My backyard doesn’t have enough room for all those flowers.” Nemophilias, marigolds, petunias, iberis, hepaticas, foxgloves, heleniums, orchids, not to mention all the various color varieties they got. Really, that’s just too much. “Pick five and put the rest back. Deuce, Trey, you can get more seeds if you want. You too Riddle.”
Ace, with all the anger that can be packed in that tiny body, stomped his little foot. Cater took a different route and gave you his best watery eyes. Even made a clone of his start to weep as though your words were the very definition of cruelty. You just gave Deuce and Trey pats on the head, gently encouraging them to get more seeds.
Though, Trey actually shook his head. Instead of looking back on the shelves to find more, he tugged on your finger, ready to get back on your shoulder. You let him, chuckling when he planted his butt down and shuffled in. He placed his packet of gerberas on his lap, already ready to go home.
You gave Riddle your hand to hop on before setting him on the floor. While Ace and Cater begrudgingly slide their pile across the floor, Riddle looked back to you with his packet hugged to his body. Well, as best he could, the thing was too wide for his small self. You nudged your head towards the shelves. Riddle practically jumped into the air before running off, leaving a small trail of rose petals and pollen behind.
“He’s excited,” you mumbled as you stood. You stretched and popped your back. “So, how’s your day been Sam?”
You’re going to be here a bit. Might as well make small talk.
