Where the natural moisture is retained, in fruit and vegetable, these may be consumed. Vegetables, steamed, not boiled, are naturally preferable. Beverages are fine [non alcoholic]. In any instance where the food is to be taken without dilution, liquid must be ingested with the meal.

THE MAYFLOWER has properties which enhance the working function of the organs. A particularly hardy plant, it draws poisons unto itself and purifies the surrounding ether. Were that we were like the Mayflower in our vigilance.
Whilst not particularly aromatic, the leaves are pungent, quite bitter and best avoided. The radiating flower however, is a jewel among its garden family. Pest insects will not attack or be attracted to this plant, however the bees and ants will marvel and rejoice within its emanations. A most virtuous flower indeed!
It is no mistake that the great lady ship should have been named so. Any quest is beset by trials and burdens, of which the Mayflower has been known to overcome all.
There are plants of an older world who would happily slumber, content in the dreams and remembrance of a former age, but not suited to the changing conditions and evolution of the planet today. The Mayflower however, is progressive and clearly works toward building and shaping our future; a responsive and cooperative nature.
Each god has his flower, which as a toenail, springs forth at the feet from where he passes. Happy is the vision of such pathways of glorious radiating flowers blazing throughout the world, as the invisible gods step through those trails and pathways.

Voloschin talks about a lecture she attended and describes how Steiner pulled a mayflower from a bouquet and used it to make a point. I had read and reviewed a book containing that lecture and scurried to my shelves to locate the book. Scanning the first several chapters, I couldn't find any reference to a mayflower, so I read more carefully the first chapter and sure enough, he talks about a flower without calling it a mayflower. First the passage by Voloschin, and then the pertinent passage from Steiner's first lecture on the St. John's Gospel in Hamburg.

[page 123] On the first evening he spoke about the prologue of the St. John's Gospel, "In the Beginning was the Word"; in doing so he took the mayflower out of the bouquet that stood on the table before him and spoke somewhat as follows: just as this mayflower arose from its seed, and the seed is hidden in the blossom, so is the world and is man arisen out of the Word; it was originally a silent world, for man was first mute, but the Word was hidden within him, as, in the blossom, the seed is hidden. And the Word began to sound forth from man: "I am."
