~Western Quarter, Left Bed~ Here is a picture of my very first completed, empty bed. It's all ready to be filled to the brim with 14 Water Element Herbs and Herbal Flowers.
	~Bleeding Heart~ I had one of these by my front porch last year that I thought had died this winter, but I think it's actually coming back! Bleeding Hearts are used to attract Love.
	~Western Quarter, Path~ This is a Black Hellebore plant. Hellebore is Poisonous, so I'm keeping it and a couple of other poisonous Herbs I'm growing in the Western Quarter, in pots at the head of the Western Path. Hellebore is used for Invisibility, Exorcism and Astral Projection, and SHOULD NOT be ingested in any form.
	~English Daisies~ I was going to plant some regular everyday, white daisies.. But, these were too cute to resist! Daisies are also used to attract Love.
	~Camellia~ This is a low growing Camellia bush that should put out lovely Pink Flowers. Camellias are used in Rituals involving Money & Prosperity.

It's sad really. I never got any pictues of this plot all planted and in full bloom. I was visiting family in Alaska when it all peaked. When finished, this plot included not only the aforementioned plants, but Chamomile, Sweet Violet, Catnip, Spearmint, Red Valerian, Skullcap, Foxgloves, Opium Poppies, and Morning Glories, nestled in between dozens of large, hand-picked River Rocks. I figured I'd take pictures in 2003, after everything was established. Little did I know that a droughT in 2002 would all but decimate the year's labors, and essentially drive me from this land. I went back to visit the garden this spring. The Chamomile, Catnip, Spearmint, & Opium Poppies, were the only plant to survive the drought and subsequent winter 2002-03. Unfortuately, I will not be spending any more tme on this garden in the forseeable future.
