A Witch's Garden...

The original Garden Gallery had both the English and Latin names of each plant, and I've restored them here as best I could. These plants are ones you would see in the Mayfair garden, or something close to it.

I've reordered the plants listed here so they are grouped together rather than scattered across the gallery. I've also added subsections to navigate this gallery more easily. If you are familiar with some or all of these plants or have suggestions or corrections, please do let me know!

One of these has the little flowers Michael Curry showed to Rowan Mayfair, explaining that as a child growing up in New Orleans, the flowers were often called "bacon 'n eggs" because of their appearance. Can you find it here?

As I've created these with AI, the females being added by the generator, I've gotten some interesting results. One result that might "jump" out is unusually long necks. Another is that they appear to have a recurring theme--women from Ancient Rome or possibly Greece. Or could they be...Tessa?

The correct scientific names for each flower, plant, shrub, and tree is something I'm reviewing as many species of plants can look similar while being completely different. Or, like azaleas and rhododendrons, they can be so closely related and similar in appearance that it's hard to tell the difference merely from photographs.

As the garden survey becomes more detailed, I hope to update entries, correct any mistakes, and add more useful information about the garden of the Mayfair Witches.
