With a lovely flower drawn into this illuminated printed leaf from the Floretus cum commento, a twelfth-century florilegium (literally “books of flowers”) attributed to Bernard de Clairvaux [Cologne, 1499], could this make Clairvaux the patron saint of digital gardens?

@manton Great job by the way on the way micro.blog handles note posts like this with included photos! I think I did it just as a note and not a photo, but it’s much better than it was in the past.

@nev @loppear I’ve spoken to others and discussed Borges’ work as well as Robert Frost’s The Road not Taken in this context. There’s also Clairvaux’ Floretus cum commento in the 12th century: https://boffosocko.com/2021/06/11/55792258/
