General Information
This is a very lovely
small climber with drooping long racemes of delicate violet-purple
star-like flowers. It is a semi-shrub and semi-climber and the small
wooden trunk develops artistic curves over the years. It looks as
if an Ikebana expert has shaped it for his floral arrangement.
The plant is ideal for
a small pergola or an arch and planted at the porch it gives a rich
welcome.
It grows best in sunshine.
It flowers in spring and in some areas also in November. The true
flower is purple, lasts for a few days and falls off whereas the
violet bracts continue for weeks. The shrub is deciduous. The new
leaves appear along with the flowers in spring. The mature leaves
are coarse and when touched produce a rustling sound, which is due
to short shift hair on both sides.
The plant is propagated
by layerings. A hard pruning in the beginning of winter is useful.
Some Quotes from the
Mother
Here are a few quotes
of the Mother on medicines, healing and the spiritual force.
The whole value of
a medicine is in the Spirit it contains.
*
The body has only trust
in material methods, that is why you have to give it medicine
- but medicine only has an effect if the Force acts through it.
*
When the Power was
there, he (Sri Aurobindo) even used to say that it was effortless;
all he had to do was to apply this supramental power of order
and harmony and instantly the desired result was achieved.
