Dead

dead oregano
still in glass on window sill....
butterflies outside  

I think in England it is pronounced as: or re gon o
In the area of America where I live we pronounce it: O/reg/ga/ no with a short a sound.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 10/26/2021 1:56:00 AM How wonderful to have it grow fresh. Dead oregano is still wonderful in spice jars though!

I was speaking about the fact that I had gone out and got some fresh, placed leftovers in a jar in water on the window sill but I got sick with COVID and the water dried up so did the plants. Sara

I appreciate every visit. Sara

Of course, no water, no life. It died. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
