Each blossom is individually assessed during the harvest to achieve the best quality possible. Only by hand-picking the blossoms can we truly perceive the individual blossoms. Michael Straub: Yes! Picking those orange-coloured blossoms – there’s no more beautiful way to begin an early summer morning! We start picking around 7 a.m., after the morning dew on the plants has evaporated.

Was it a way to articulate your own experiences, and navigating questions of sexuality and identity? ![]() I couldn't find myself in TV or even in the newspaper, so I found myself in books.
