Alpine Lady’s Mantle
These are mountain and edgeadapted species, compact, resilient, shaped by altitude, isolation, and scarcity. Their genius lies in survival at ecological margins.
These are sculptural, miniature, or ornamental forms. Their genius lies in foliage geometry, silver veining, misty textures, admired in gardens more for form than medicine.
These are the medicinal archetypes, central to herbalism and folklore. Their genius lies in dew magic, gynecological care, and cultural memory. They are the “true mantles” remembered in ritual and healing.
