Stoked Sandbell - Kira Stokes Fit

This is one of those flowers that makes you want to learn how to draw or watercolor. Stokes Aster fills its short greenery in the summer into fall with purple pinwheel flowers. The flowers look like they’re cut out of tissue paper and glued together using tweezers. You may need to shoo the pollinators away to get a good picture—these native flowers are bee magnets. Stokes Aster are easy to grow and are even sometimes found at big-box nurseries. Scroll on for more pictures and planting tips. You might be wondering…Who is Stokes? Why is this plant named Stokes Aster? Jonathan Stokes was a doctor active in the late 1700s-1800s in England. He is known for his pioneering research using plants for medicinal reasons (he was celebrated for finding ways Foxglove could help with heart ailments.) As you can imagine, Stokes was a well-respected member of both the medical and botany communities in Europe. This was during the time that botanists were giving plants Latin names and organizing them into taxonomies, often picking names of the luminaries around them. This plant’s Latin name—Stokesia—was bestowed in honor of Dr. Stokes’ work.Over the years, the Latin name and the story behind it became the common name Stokes Aster. However, Dr. Stokes never set foot in North America, where this plant is native. There are sadly lots of North American native plants named after long-dead, never-been-across-the-Atlantic Europeans. Some other examples include Rudbeckia (common name: Black-Eyed Susans) and magnolias.What are the benefits of growing Stokes Aster?There are so many benefits to having Stokes Aster in your landscape, including:Super low maintenance: Stokes Aster needs minimal care to thriveComes back year after year: this is a perennial, or a plant that comes back year after year from the same roots. So plant once and enjoy for years!Pollinator magnet: it’s hard to see a Stokes Aster in bloom and not see it covered in bees and butterflies. Its wide and bright flowers are perfect landing pads for iconic creatures to hang out on.Drought-tolerant: after Stokes Aster is established (it normally takes the first year), this plant can handle the heat of the SouthGorgeous flowers. Beauty matters! A gorgeous landscape with native flowers lifts spirits. Plant a patch of Stokes Aster and see for yourself.EVERGREEN in the South! Leaves stay on and green in warmer climates. How do you grow Stokes Aster?Stokes Aster is one of the most easy native plants to grow. It likes:Full sun to part shade. This wide range of sun means as long as it’s not in full shade, you’re good to plant. What are good pairings for Stokes Aster?Pair with other acid-loving friendsAs mentioned earlier, Stokes Aster likes acidic soil. There are lots of other native plants that also enjoy this type of environment—including edible native plants like Highbush Blueberries!Plant with natives that bloom at different timesPair Stokes Aster with other flowers that bloom at different times, so that pollinators always have something to snack on (and you’ll always have something to look

His courtesan because he breaks open a sack of money he is holding.Among the most popular plays are “Kanadahon Chushingura”, the story of 47 samurai who avenged the death of their lord; Shin Sangokushi, an adaption if the Chinese historical epic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"; “Kyoto Ningy” ("Kyoto Doll"), a Japanese pygmalion story; “The Love Suicide at Sonezaki”, a low-caste Romeo and Juliet drama based on a true story involving the love between a prostitute and a clerk at a soy sauce company; “Renjishi”, a parable about a lion who throws his cub off a cliff and will rear him only if he strong enough to climb back up; and the “Tale of Genji”.“Migawari Zanzen” (“The Zen Substitute”) is widely regarded as one of the most accessible plays. First performed in 1910 but adapted from a kyogen farce dating to the 15th century, it isa comedy rich in sex, deception and marital problems. The plot centers around a lord who wants to visit his courtesan but has difficulties doing so because of his possessive, suspicious, shrewish wife. His solution: pretend he is doing zen mediation, have his servant switch places with him and have a night of pleasure with his courtesan.Tale of the 47 Loyal Assassins One of the most famous events in Japanese history was the mass suicide of 47 samurai in 1702. Known as the “Tale of the 47 Loyal Assassin” or “Churshingura”, it has been the subject of many “kabuki” dramas, “bunkara” puppet theaters, children's books, bestselling novels, movies and television mini-series and documentaries.The series of events that led to the mass suicide began when Kira Kozukenosuke, an evil warlord and senior official in the Tokugawa shogunate, picked a fight with a daimyo named Asano, who grazed the forehead of Kira with his sword in a fit of anger in a corridor of Edo castle. Such an act was strictly forbidden in the castle and Asano was forced to commit suicide or be killed by Kira's men, depending on the version of the story. Knowing the Asano's death would probably be avenged Kira fortified the walls of his castle and tripled the number of men protecting it.Forty-seven samurai loyal to Asano vowed to get revenge but they waited for two years and acted like drunken fools, ignoring their wives and children and even failing to show up for the burial of Asano, during that time to make Kira think they were too consumed in drowning their sorrows to be concerned with revenge.On December 14, 1702, the 47 samurai broke into Kira's Tokyo fortress. Clad in a black-ninja suits with white trim, they approached the castle, running over snow barefoot to remain quiet, and cut up the defenders of the fortress with their tempered steel swords. [Source: T.R. Reid, the Washington Post]Kira was captured in an outhouse, and beheaded. After marching through the streets of their hometown before cheering crowd, with Kira's head, the 47 samurai lined up in a row in front of Asano's tomb, announced
