Luthor Burbank (the city of Burbank in southern California is where many movie studios are) was an absolutely amazing man, philosopher and horticulturalist. He was, in the 20's and 30', a theosophist, and very interested in working with the spirits of plants. <br /><br />I hope you can all visit Shasta sometime - cheaper accomodations can be had in the little town of Weed, just north of Shasta City. I really understand why mountains were sacred places of pilgrimage, after seeing Shasta.<br /><br />Blessings, laurenLauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-44557106618700041582010-06-12T12:31:36.636-07:002010-06-12T12:31:36.636-07:00Beautiful mountain, on my list of places to visit ...Beautiful mountain, on my list of places to visit if I ever travel from my enchanted forest again! <br /><br />And I just returned from the garden center with two large Shasta Daisies for the garden... interesting to know where the name came from, new info!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-8297463451524808972010-06-12T09:03:57.773-07:002010-06-12T09:03:57.773-07:00The name Shasta is known to gardeners throughout t...The name Shasta is known to gardeners throughout the world as the name of a plant, the Shasta daisy.<br /><br />It's a glorified version of the Ox-Eye daisy, developed by one Luther Burbank, who lived in that area and named the plant after the mountain.John Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966938808921010638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-37585543654396267502010-06-12T08:43:20.568-07:002010-06-12T08:43:20.568-07:00Mount Shasta looks truly remarkable.Mount Shasta looks truly remarkable.blessingsgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190712703086168091noreply@blogger.com
