Fragrant Orchid  Gymnadenia conopsea

There were so many orchids on Omey, in the Burren and on the coast of Ireland in general that it required care not to step on any.  I came upon an abundant colony of this one and asked if it wanted to be part of this project..  Orchids are particular about whether they want to be made into an Essence so I was cautious with this one, however it jumped on board the project with enthusiasm explaining:

"Our wisdom needs to go out into the world.  I try to share my wisdom generously in the gift of my perfume however, I AM glad to have a greater opportunity to be of service.  I know this will strike you as a leap but my essence is HOPE and that is the vibration I bring as a Flower Essence.  I am most deeply attuned to the Fourth Ray and the Angel Gabriel.  I do not need to be applied or ingested to be of service in your life.  Holding a bottle of my Essence will be enough.  I will bring my beacon of White Light via this bottle of my Flower Essence just as I stand as a wand of this light on the rocky slopes where you found me.

I AM Hope.
