Tanya Anderson: Ravishing in red

By Ashley Martin With her bold cat-eye glasses, bright red hair and mass of statement jewelry, it’s a little difficult to imagine Tanya Anderson as a snowboarder.

But believe it or not, her snowy athleticism planted a seed for style.

Her mom Petra Janssen recalls Anderson as a 12-year-old. “‘Mom, I don’t need to match.

Snowboarders don’t need to match!’” said Janssen. “I think from that day forward she kind of did her own thing.”

Though today’s touch of pearls, ’50s-influenced frames and ruby mouth smack of vintage vogue, Anderson doesn’t consider a bygone era her influence.

Her major fashion philosophy is to never blend in.

“I like to stand out,” said Anderson. “I always have this nightmare of fitting in or blending in.”

CREATIVE CAREER Anderson has a liberal dress code at work as a designer at Wascana Flower Shoppe in Regina, her family’s business.

For that, she counts herself lucky.

“I view every day as a fashion show because we dress up in our full bling and shoes and everything,” said Anderson.

“We do deal in emotions, so if I am booking a funeral I need to come to work to be prepared for that, so we don’t get too off the wall.”

SKATER GIRL In university, while studying kinesiology, Anderson’s style must was skate shoes. She wore them with everything.

“I remember going to the clubs in mini skirts and fancy tops and skate shoes, and that was the staple of my wardrobe for a long time.”

MOTHERHOOD À LA MODE When Anderson became a mom to Bronx (almost three) and Oliver (almost one), she didn’t compromise on her style.

“It’s really effortless because my kids have evolved with me ...

They’ve kind of grown into the understanding they can play with my necklaces but they can’t rip at them.

“Maxi dresses are great because you can bend and you don’t have to worry about anything. You can get on the floor, and jumpers or rompers are awesome too for that reason. Flats are a staple, especially when we’re running around on Canada Day or something.”

1.

DRESSING DOWN Even while camping (her family got a seasonal site this year), she’s pretty dolled up.

“Casual for me is definitely still chic, a maxi dress or a nice little sundress and sandals,” said Anderson. “If you see me in bright red lips and just black liquid eyeliner, I’m dressing down. Those are my sweatpants.”

LOCAL LOVE Anderson likes to shop local and lists Havik, Marbella, Cade and Queen V as a few of her favourite shops.

“There isn’t anywhere in Regina that I can say doesn’t have amazing product and amazing service. I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t want to shop here.”

STYLE ICONS Though she admires Gwen Stefani and Nicole Richie (the latter for her “boho, I-don’t-really-give-a-sh*t look”), Anderson doesn’t copy anyone.

“I’ll often put something together ..., something that I think works and then a day or two later I’ll see it somewhere and I’m like, ‘OK, it did work.’”

FASHION TODAY’S LOOK

4.

2.

1. DRESS: Anthropologie. “I really liked the fabric ... and it wasn’t working for me, the cut. So when I got home, immediately I called Dean (Renwick). ... A lot of the things I have in my closet, either he’s touched or worked on or altered.”

2. HAIR: The colour is new to Anderson, but she’s wanted red hair “forever.”

“I’ve always wanted to do it and it just seemed like the right time.”

Less than a month ago, she made her return to dazzling colour after a few years of natural-looking blond, which she felt was a more practical choice to save salon time.

3.

5.

3. FRAMES: Her collection has grown over the years — “I have more frames than I have shoes” — and so have the actual glasses.

“I look back on what I thought was big five years ago and they were actually really small.”

Anderson is a loyal Viva Optical customer, ever since she was a kid and was prescribed glasses for the first time. “I was so psyched that I got to wear glasses because I just loved one more accessory.”

4. HAIR CLIP: Anthropologie 5. MAKEUP: Red lipstick is Anderson’s cosmetic staple.

“I have a bucket full, but I have to say Ruby Woo from MAC is definitely my go-to.”

Today she opted for MAC Viva Glam and Kat von D: “I kind of combined the two of them to try and get close to my hair colour, just because I thought it would be jazzy today.”

6.

6. JEWELRY: Dyrberg Kern from Wascana Flower Shoppe. “It’s overstatement pieces, large, chunky, crystal, beautifully made stuff,” which she often wears with Hillberg & Berk: “I like to pair the two jewelry lines together quite a bit because they compliment each other.”

7.

7. TATTOOS: Three from Las Vegas, which were all a little impulsive. “I’m very much a fly-by-the-seat-ofmy-pants girl.”

Her wedding date in Roman numerals (her husband has the same one). “I don’t often wear a wedding band because of the line of work I’m in, I get absolutely annihilated.”

The names of her sons, Bronx and Oliver.

A rose, whose symbolism ties to a few things, including the florists in her family.

8.

8. SHOES: These Frye pumps, her all-time favourites, are from Zoe’s Boutique. She’s had them for six years.

“I feel like they go with everything; they have not dated themselves; they’re built to last.”

LOCA L AUT H ORS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

WES PEARCE

For Out Spoken: Perspectives on Queer Identities When the University of Regina Queer Initiative (URQI) was formed in 2006, its primary goal was to bring together the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer (GLBTQ) faculty, staff and allies to create an informal group that was social but at the same time offered an avenue of support.

Wes Pearce I suggested the Speakers Series as a relatively easy way to raise the group’s profile and to give URQI a public face on campus.

The Speakers Series was modelled

on the very successful Inside OUT Series at the University of Alberta and, like the U of A model, would feature a wide range of faculty members, graduate students, members of the community and visiting friends from other campuses.

Organizing and co-ordinating the series became a labour of love and every semester I enjoyed putting together a diverse array of presentations and topics; everything from biology, popular culture (including presentations on Madonna, the L word, gossip, Dexter, and Radcliffe Hall), history, literary theory, textual analysis, leadership, community development, social analysis, curriculum development and personal growth.

When the University of Regina

Press approached me about creating an anthology around the Speakers Series I was very excited by this opportunity. Around campus, Jean Hillabold is a bit of a legend insofar as she has been proudly out, and queering pedagogy and curriculum while many of the contributors to this anthology were still in graduate school. In the 1980s she tried to offer the first queer course on campus but no one signed up for her class on lesbian literature.

She is now an award winning writer.

I immediately asked Jean if she would help co-edit the book. Together, creating the anthology became a labour of love. Re-connecting with all of the participants, re-familiarizing ourselves with the individual pieces of writing (some that were major re-

visions from the verbal presentation), and then slowly finding a path that connected all of the essays together took the better part of a year.

The essays that we received were diverse, multi/inter-disciplinary, provocative and passionate — a mirror of the series itself.

Although it was never our intention to create a book on “queer identity,” as we read, and re-read the pieces it became clear, that in some way, all the pieces were asking “what does it mean to be queer” (or gay or lesbian or an ally)?

It (helps me) understand others better and be more forgiving. — Flo Lavallie

Flo Lavallie helps heal body and soul holistically

By Jenn Sharp For Flo Lavallie, healing goes beyond the person sitting in her treatment room.

The doctor of natural medicine performs a variety of holistic treatments, like reflexology and iridology, and takes a non-drug approach to health.

Outside her practice, she works tirelessly,

advocating rights for disabled people, women and the environment.

Lavallie hasn’t had an easy journey; she’s battled a debilitating injury, drug addiction and her son’s suicide. But she’s come out on top.

Her journey in healthcare has gone from equine healing to hockey.

“Healing takes you everywhere,” she smiles.

Over the years, Lavallie billeted nine hockey players from the Saskatoon Blades in her home, and many went on to play professionally.

She introduced them to reflexology treatments and a natural healthcare approach. One young man she treated was featured in Home Game, a movie based on a book written by Ken Dryden (former Montreal Canadiens goalie) and Roy MacGregor.

She always maintains her connection with nature. It’s where she draws her strength and her joy. Nicknamed Flo Many Berries, one of Lavallie’s favourite past times is “pushing bush” — walking in the bush, picking berries and herbs. She believes her roller coaster of a life has made her a better healer.

“It (helps me) understand others better and be more forgiving.”

T H ESTA R P H O E N I X .CO M / B R I D G ES

I like her approach. She’s a very good listener. She’s dealt with a lot of personal stuff so anything you tell her, it’s not like she’s heard it for the first time. — Moira Knight

■ ■ ■ ■ Healing runs in Lavallie’s blood. Her greatgrandmother, a herbalist in France, wrote a tome in 1908 called A Practical Guide to Health.

“I grew up eating dandelion greens (for salads) and picking dandelion flowers for my mom to make wine,” says Lavallie. (A dandelion painting graces the cover of one of the two books she’s published).

Lavallie grew up in St. Brieux, where her family settled after emigrating from France.

She met her future husband Doug on the picket line in 1969 at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert. Both worked there at the time — Lavallie in the psychiatric ward, Doug as a nursing orderly. Doug had three young children when they met.

Doug is Metis, and Lavallie has connected with his family and heritage. She has also studied with medicine men and women in Saskatchewan’s First Nations communities. Next year, she will be inducted into the Council of Elders,

a great honour from the Saskatchewan Consultant Herbal Association Inc. Shortly after marrying Doug, Lavallie fell down a flight of concrete stairs. Three operations, including the removal of her tailbone, would follow for the petite woman. At the lowest point, doctors told Lavallie, who weighed 40 kg after the third operation, she would never walk again.

Confined to her bed and in a body cast, the pain and depression led her into a long, dark battle with prescription drugs. She questioned her future, knowing she wouldn’t be able to continue in her current job.

“One night at 2:30 a.m., I had this vision. My great-grandmother was standing at the foot of my bed, saying, ‘There is hope. You can change your career and you can still be a productive member of society.’ I was so distraught at that time. I’m a people person. All of a sudden — to be a caged animal — I couldn’t do that anymore.”

After three years, and at the insistence of her doctor, she went to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon for nine days — she needed help to come off the drugs. “(There were) mattresses moving and voices. It was not pretty.”

Upon returning home, she had one prescription left from a doctor in Prince Albert. She had a decision to make — get rid of it or keep it.

“I’ll never forget that day. I poured it down the toilet and I regretted it for many days after that. But I never went on prescription drugs after that.”

After rehabilitation and time

spent in devices to keep her spine straight, she recovered and was able to walk.

“It was a very difficult time for me because I didn’t know where my life was going. I had a difficult time adjusting to a different way of life.

I was a doer. I wasn’t a person to receive,” she says.

Lavallie has been sober for 36 years.

“It didn’t come easy. I think that’s what makes me a healer today — it’s because of all my own personal experiences. God puts people in front of you for a reason.”

For the many that she’s helped,

she is that person. One client and friend, says Lavallie has helped her in more ways than one.

When she was training for marathons in Boston and New York, Moira Knight sought Lavallie’s advice on diet, supplements and reflexology.

“She has so much knowledge — what foods to eat and what to stay away from. That was huge (for me),” says Knight, who calls Lavallie a positive, freeing force in her life.

“I like her approach. She’s a very good listener. She’s dealt with a lot of personal stuff so anything you tell her, it’s not like she’s heard it

for the first time.”

“You have to have someone to believe in you. You have to have someone to walk with you through this path,” explains Lavallie.

■ ■ ■ ■ Lavallie’s eldest son Lance, a premed student at the University of Saskatchewan, was 21 when he committed suicide in 1981.

He left behind a letter where he talked about the opportunities his family offered him. Lavallie’s name was the only one mentioned in the 25 pages.

“He was unable to take advantage of these things. He basically was a selfish young man,” she says.

He’d had an argument with his girlfriend, went to her house and took a cyanide tablet he had made in the lab at school.

“He was not happy here. His relationships with everybody were just so unsatisfactory.”

Lavallie’s daughter, who was 16 at the time and has cerebral palsy, had been sexually abused by Lance.

“We never realized it until the day of his funeral when she was lying on her bed crying, ‘he was my boyfriend.’ ”

Lavallie still visits his grave site; doing so helped her forgive him and get over her own anger.

“I believe in the forgiveness process,” she says.

After Lance’s death, she’s spoke at many high schools about suicide and how that unnatural death affected her family. She’s counselled those dealing with suicidal thoughts and saved a few lives along the way. But she doesn’t receive well. That’s why she throws her energy into so many community projects.

In 2001, Lavallie secured funding and the land to build Tamara’s House, a safe house and healing centre for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She served on the board for nine years, raising $1.8 million.

Her interest in the project began because of her experience helping her daughter deal with a second instance of sexual abuse.

It took Lavallie four years to get her through the justice system, but in the end, the charges were stayed because her daugh-

ter couldn’t remember exact dates and times.

In 2002, Lavallie met with the provincial justice committee, advocating for a new protocol for people with disabilities.

“Now people with disabilities can use a screen in the courthouse so they don’t have to see their abuser,” she adds.

Tamara’s House closed due to a lack of funding in 2011. Now, many of the survivors from Tamara’s House come to the Westside Community Clinic where Lavallie has led health workshops for women for the last 10 years. She works there for two days a month through the Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health (SWITCH).

“A lot of those women come because it’s a safe place… The legacy lives on in a different way.”

The clinic is the first place Lavallie feels she truly belongs.

“These people accept you for who you are.

They don’t ask any questions, like where you’ve been and (about) your education.”

In the work she does in the community and with patients, she’s a huge advocate for the best possible way to look after your own health. — Arla Gustafson

■ ■ ■ ■ The Lavallies followed the Northern Professional Chuckwagon Association circuit in Saskatchewan for several seasons in the early 1980s, living in a tent with their children from May to October. Lavallie worked as a healer — both for the racers and for the horses, while her husband serviced the wagons.

“He’d never been around the circuit before; never owned blue jeans before,” smiles the woman who grew up with horses.

She does iridology on horses, which tells her their deficiencies and if they’re suffering from an injury, along with equine massage and Reiki. She makes herbal poultices for cuts as well.

Horses develop an energetic relationship that’s different with each person.

“Because of that, you can walk into a strange field of horses and only certain horses will come to you.

“They can see your aura and your chakras, which basically radiate. As a result of all that, there’s a communication that only horse lovers can understand and appreciate.”

She speaks to the negative stereotypes about chuckwagon racing; some feel the sport is abusive.

“That’s not true. That’s what horses are bred for. They’re bred to run.

Most of these horses come off the race track. As soon as the whistle goes, they know (it’s time) to go.

They’ve got that energy to go.”

In May, Lavallie was happy to return to the circuit again, this time working with a father/son team.

Whether it’s horses or those in pain, Lavallie excels at giving them a voice.

After learning her cancer clients were travelling to Edmonton to use the PET/CT (Position Emission Tomography — Computer Tomography) scan there, she sprang into action.

An advancing medical imaging technology, the scan helps detect cancer in the initial stages and also determines if any cancer remains after chemotherapy and radiation is finished. It’s also used for heart and neurology purposes, along with de-

mentia and Alzheimer’s research.

“It gives people that confidence.

It changes peoples’ attitudes totally.

They don’t have to live in fear,” says Arla Gustafson, CEO of the Royal University Hospital Foundation.

In January, 2011 Lavallie and a client met with health minister Don McMorris. “(There was) a need for our province and our city to have (the) scan so cancer clients would not have to travel to other provinces, (and) to avoid the cost and anxieties of their health’s future,” she says.

In March, a funding partnership was announced. On Lavallie’s

birthday last year, Gustafson invited her for a private tour of the scan under construction. It opened June 20, 2013 in the PotashCorp Centre of Molecular Imaging at the Royal University Hospital.

“That was the best birthday I’ve ever had,” says Lavallie with tears in her eyes. To date, 1,110 people have used the scan.

“You can’t explain to people what that feels like.”

Gustafson says Lavallie is a strong voice in the health community.

“Flo is instrumental in explaining to people what (PET/CT scans’) benefits are,” adding that Lavallie’s

talents expand even further.

“In the work she does in the community and with patients, she’s a huge advocate for the best possible way to look after your own health.

She works with patients and their families to access the resources,” says Gustafson.

Lavallie also advocated the College of Medicine to adopt alternative medicine into the curriculum.

Med students now shadow her at her clinic.

Thanks to funding from Cameco, Lavllie took eight disadvantaged women to the YWCA Women of Distinction dinner. She wanted to give

them hope for their future.

“So they get to see what it feels like to come from that environment and move on and to see other First Nations women get awards.”

She feels it’s her duty to help her community, and she does it to make the world a better place for the next generation.

“I want my children and greatgrandchildren to have the same opportunity that I’ve had. If we don’t make the path for them, then there’s no purpose in being here.” jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

FLO’S FIVE FAVOURITE HERBS: YARROW ■ Pick it in pastures — white, yellow and purple, although you’ll mostly see the white kind ■ Can be dried and used as a tea; leaves can be used for tinctures; sniff dried leaves to cure a headache ■ Used as treatment for blood disorders — will rectify the red blood cells and white blood cells

JUNIPER BERRIES ■ Pick in northern Saskatchewan ■ Use in wild meat — make small slices in meat and insert before roasting ■ Drink as a tea to cure bedwetting, bladder or urinary tract infections

SAGE ■ One of four sacred herbs — used by aboriginal community as a smudge ■ Use for turkey or wild rice dressing — stir fry onion and garlic, then add sage ■ Drink as a tea; assists women with hot flashes and other problems during menopause

LABRADOR (MUSKEG) TEA ■ Aboriginal community uses it for its gastrointestinal healing properties ■ Grows in northern Saskatchewan

MINT ■ Used in essential oils, for making candy, soap and soothing the digestive tract ■ Peppermint tea is used for treating headaches and digestive upset

DID YOU KNOW? ■ Nettles are high in calcium — drink as a tea or eat as a vegetable.

■ Rhubarb leaves can be made into a soup — it’s delicious served with mashed potatoes and milk.

Life-Lea ife-Lease Suites for 50-Plus Adults

Contact Shelley Davis

Hyde Park View is transforming the concept of adult housing in Saskatoon! Combining contemporary style, superb amenities and Age-in-Place Design, the 50-plus housing development is ideally located near stores and professional services. The 4.5-storey residence by the Elim Lodge Housing Group offers 140 suites, including 100 life-lease units, 15 affordable rental apartments and 25 personal care suites.

walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms.

Ceramic tile is standard in all en-suite bathrooms. Age-in-Place Design includes 36-inch wide doorways and every suite has a seven-foot, barrier-free walk-in tiled shower enclosed in glass. There are no steps to negotiate. Mechanical systems are at a higher standard than many condos with radiant in-floor heat and central air systems with integrated cooling for each suite.

Life-lease units are pre-selling with 57 units still available, including numerous suites facing south with a view of Hyde Park.

Life-lease suites range in size from 821 to 1297 square feet, including one bedroomplus-den, two bedroom and two bedroomplus-den units. Every two-bedroom suite has two bathrooms.

Residents will enjoy the use of attractive amenity spaces, including the hotel-style lobby, attractive dining room (with Red Seal Chef ), two guest suites, meeting room, exercise area, library, games room, pool table, workshop, mini theatre, hair salon, and a large shared patio with BBQ space and hot tub. Every life-lease suite receives one parking stall in the ground-level heated parkade, along with individual drywalled storage rooms. Getting in early allows you to choose a parking space steps away from one of three elevators.

Construction will commence this summer with occupancy beginning in 2016. With a life-lease you own the lease not the property.

You purchase the right to occupy the suite for as long as you function independently. Hyde Park View owns the building and property so you never have to worry about the security of your investment. Unlike owning a condo, there will never be a surprise bill to fix the roof. You promptly receive your money when you conclude your lease. A life-lease is peace of mind.

The innovative residence was designed by Saskatoon architect Charles Olfert of AODBT Architecture. Extensive use of architectural glass in the building’s modern design includes floor-to-ceiling windows which capture gorgeous views of neighbouring Hyde Park, with its 237 acres of lakes, parkland and walking trails. A stunning 6-foot wide FreshView window functions like an indoor balcony. Many suites have balconies with glass panel railings.

All of the “must-haves” of today’s condo market are offered, including open concept floor plans, nine-foot ceilings and modern kitchens with large islands, quartz countertops and a full stainless steel appliance package. Two-bedroom master suites have

Hyde Park View will also offer 25 personal care units. As individuals age, they will be able to move to a specially designed area in the same building that will provide the 24-hour, personal care they need. That transition will be easier in the same building, with their friends surrounding them. Their spouse can move with them or stay in their same suite. Licensed by the provincial government, the personal care area will provide an intermediate level of care staffed by qualified, trained personnel. The rental apartment waiting list will begin accepting names in May 2015.

Hyde Park View offers some of the most attractive prices in the city, especially when you consider the amenities and the high level of service provided to residents—even to changing the light bulbs. The Elim Lodge Housing Group has been providing quality housing in Saskatoon for more than 30 years.

For more information, contact sales representative Shelley Davis at (306) 612-3338 and visit the website at www.hydeparkview.org or drop

by Elim Lodge (1123 Moss Avenue) to pick up a sales package.

The difficulty level ranges from Bronze (easiest) to Silver to Gold (hardest).

WOMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTHY BRAS

2 014 Saskatoon

Have you gone on a bra shopping trip, only to be frustrated, walking away empty handed? Jeunique International, founded in 1959, manufactures health bras based on the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge (balanced load suspension).

Shirley McInnes (International Executive Director), a Certified Bra Fitter, is coming to Saskatoon for a 2 day Bra Clinic. Bras on the market with frills and lace may look nice, but they are not doing their job. (85% OF WOMEN ARE WEARING THE WRONG BRA!) A women needs support from beneath the breast tissue. The Tab and the Jeunique/Leunique Bras both fit small to full figure, sports, maternity and mastectomy - 200 sizes and 3 styles to choose from 30A - 46KK; no bounce, no wires to gouge or bruises or impeded lymphatic drainage and circulation. Does not ride up in the back or fall off the shoulders and promotes better posture. Switching to a custom fitted bra is like giving up a floppy pair of slippers for an orthotic shoe. Once women adjust to the uplift and snugness (a couple of weeks) you become a life-long client. Doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors often refer their patients to us.

A bit of the bubbly helps summer love blossom

By James Romanow Life is hard and life is earnest, but folks it is summer. We have sunshine, warm weather, and with any luck, the free time to enjoy both.

For my whole life the inexpensive bubbly of choice has been Spanish Cava. This is a Catalonian product that is hugely and deservedly popular. Sure, I love champagne. Who doesn’t?

Make mine a 2002 blanc de blanc if you’re serving. What’s that? You balk at splitting a $90 bottle with me? Shame on you!

If your budget doesn’t stretch to that kind of extravagance, buy a bottle of Cava. The best of the stuff available in Canada rarely crosses the $30 mark and the most popular label in the land is a very affordable $15.

Freixenet probably outsells every other wine in the world (excepting maybe Apothic). The most popular label Cordon Negro, is a staple around the New Year. Any number of people ignore the frosted bottle label Carta Nevada, which is their loss. The grape mix is ever so slightly different, with a predominant flavour of Granny Smith apples. There are the usual smells of acacia and lime flowers in the bouquet.

This is a really fine glass of bubbly. When I see it I snag the Brut but the Extra Dry is probably a better choice for parties and afternoon sipping, as the slight amount of sugar may

Buttercups: Beautiful to look at, but don’t eat them

By Lyndon Penner Many years ago, I took a class about edible flowers. I wanted to learn more about moving plants from the garden to the kitchen. It ended up being a really good time. There was a nice gal in my class named Fran who said at one point, “I wonder if you could eat clematis blossoms. They would be so pretty in a salad.” At this, the instructor took on a horrified expression and said, “No! That’s Ranunculaceae! You don’t eat anything — I mean, anything — in that entire family, unless you’re interested in suffering and death!” So Fran decided she wasn’t going to eat clematis blossoms after all.

The instructor’s words intrigued me. Some men like to drive fast cars, others collect guns or knives, and I like to grow things that can kill you.

We all feel a need to live dangerously sometimes. I had never thought much about Ranunculaceae, better known to most as the buttercup family. To be sure, there were plenty of representatives in my garden but that was not something I had pursued consciously.

It just so happened that I liked delphiniums and monkshood and prairie crocus; it never occurred to me that these well-known garden perennials were related or that they were violently poisonous. For some reason, nearly everything in this large family of more than 1,700 plant species is toxic to some degree.

Spring adonis is a member of the toxic, but beautiful, buttercup family.

Prairie crocus.

GARDENING This entire group of plants intrigues me. Every time I learned something about the buttercup family, I became more curious.

Greek and Roman mythology has it that monkshood sprang from the slobber of Cerberus, the three-headed dog, guardian of the gates of the underworld. An extract of monkshood was once used to poison wolves (hence one of its other common names, wolf ’s bane). It is also reportedly a component of witches’ brew.

Larkspur seed extract was used to kill body lice during the American Civil War. And most First Nations cultures have at least one story about the prairie crocus, my favourite, which involves a young man giving the crocus his coat. Ever since, the prairie crocus has worn a covering of rabbit fur. This makes me appreciate the hairy stems even

more, and I think we can all do with greater appreciation for hairy stems.

Every year, I try to find new plants in the buttercup family to grow. This has sometimes involved painstaking attempts at germinating the seeds (not all of them are easy or co-operative) and searching far and wide for specific cultivars or varieties of these plants. I am totally enamoured with this plant group.

My interest (OK, mild obsession) with the buttercup family has served me well. It has brought numerous and unusual plants to my garden, such as the spring Adonis, and more common and well-known perennials as well, like the gorgeous and many faceted anemones. The globeflowers (Trollius) are also in this family and their relentlessly orange flowers every June fill my
