Georgia O'Keeffe Painting, photograph, by Alfred Stieglitz (1918).

O’Keeffe’s drawings first caught the attention of photographer and New York gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz. Stieglitz was an influential member of the art community — the only man among his peers who believed women could create art equal to that of men — and he became O’Keeffe’s chief promoter, she became his mistress, and the two later married in 1924.

Ram's Head and White Hollyhock, New Mexico, 1935

New Mexico and its otherworldly landscapes would prove restorative for the artist, as it had before and would continue to do. In 1934, following her first visit to Ghost Ranch, north of Abiquiú in New Mexico, O’Keeffe would return to painting with renewed enthusiasm—and, with Ram’s Head, White Hollyhock-Hills the following year, ushered in her mature style, which juxtaposed elements with imaginative freedom.

daisies literally represent "new beginnings" holy shit

That makes so much fuxking sense (referring to TMF daisy's character)

(actually now that I look into it a little bit the whole entire symbolism of daisies (besides just the "new beginnings") fit her so well there's no way it wasn't intentional)

If you're confused feel free to ask

Tell us about your favorite combinations of plants, as in, what do you enjoy growing together? Whether that be for companion planting reasons, or just for aesthetics.

I'll start, I love growing nasturtiums between my pepper plants while the latter are babies because I think their structures and colors compliment each other. Usually either the pepper plants get big enough to shade the nasturtiums so they last through the heat, or the flowers and vines don't last and turn into a nice little mulch.

Nasturtiums are a really famous trap crop for Aphids when it comes to Nightshades! So you're also really helping yourself out, there :D

For combinations, I usually don't grow many. But one combination I did really enjoy one year was a Zinnia color mix and Cinnamon Basil. They make absolutely beautiful cut flower arrangements together; I really think people should use flowering Herbs in arrangements more!

Datura — the symptoms of its toxicity are often cited by the traditional mnemonic: "Blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, hot as a hare, dry as a bone, the bowel and bladder lose their tone, and the heart runs alone."
