Step beyond the botanical beauty where roots twist with ritual and petals hide peculiar power. In this fragrant & colorful episode, Jeni Monroe and Tressa Slater welcome the ever-curious Varla Ventura—writer, traveler, and devoted collector of the world’s weirdest wonders. Together, they dig into enchanted flora, eerie folklore, and the deliciously dark side of nature, from corpse-scented blossoms to the magical plants lurking in fairy tales. Expect strange history, uncanny encounters, and just enough chills to make you glance at your window after midnight.
