Scabiosa gigantea (giant scabious)

What's in a name?

All flowers have a scientific name but many also sport a common name. With the exception of the stinking corpse lily (Rafflesia arnoldii), most of these common names are positive. Thus Helianthus becomes a sunflower and even the lowly Taraxacum officinale is called a dandelion. Now what could be more ego-enhancing that being compared to a well-dressed lion?

Other flowers are more often called by their scientific name. Campanulas may be known as bellflowers but everyone I know calls them campanulas. Similarly, Scabiosa may be called a pincushion plant but most people refer to them as scabiosas.

Scabiosa is a Latin word that refers to the insufferable scabies mite. This tiny human parasite causes unbelievable itching and is usually contracted with prolonged skin-to-skin contact with someone who is already infected (read: In adults it's usually a sexually transmitted disease). Children can also catch scabies from infected clothing and bedding as well as infected cats and dogs (it can cause 'mange' in pets). These days, a doctor will prescribe Kwellada lotion but in ancient times, rubbing the skin with this plant was the only remedy.

I caught scabies when I was nineteen. I was going through a bit of a sexual 'dry spell' at that time and I caught it from someone else's sleeping bag. I went to the doctor, bought a tube of Kwellada lotion, boiled all my bedding and clothing, and the itching was gone in two weeks. I offer this embarrassing confession as a public service announcement. I assure you, @flowerishness will return to less disturbing content tomorrow.

Adventures in gouache! I love tropical plants, but I wasn’t quite able to capture their vibrancy. I did enjoy figuring out how to paint my version of a pincushion protea
