'The Moon Garden'

There are wild things that can be tamed and others that cannot. Your success depends on your fortitude, intelligence and wisdom. This piece looks innocent enough but she is a fierce queen underneath and everyday with her, she will remind you that you are too. What happens to the fools that underestimate you both will be the stuff of legends. Seemingly the innocent Queen Anne's Lace, basking in the open grove of the forest to let the worshiping moonlight fall all around her, is really the cunning and powerful Hemlock. One of the most powerful neurotoxins called 'piperidine alkaloids', the most infamous of which is coniine. These compounds interrupt the communication with nerves and muscles. As the poison takes effect, muscles lose the ability to respond to commands from the brain. Her victim lays conscious but unable to respond while paralysis gradually moves upwards to take the rest of her victim. EVERY PART OF THE PLANT IS TOXIC. To know her on bad terms is a knowledge that can't be unlearned. Safely and completely encased for your safety, you retain her full power to remind you of yours, every breath you take. She is the remedy for those that think they know everything. She disagrees. Ask Socrates how that turned out for him.
