(Yarrow could be good, > for the I Ching connection. But papaver somniferum was my first choice.) I actually had to look up the latter - all the times I've seen "The Wizard of Oz" nothwithstanding. As for the species, I might favor penstemon: http://www.anandaapothecary.com/fes-north-american-flower-essences/penstemon-flower-essence.html "... in these moments of sorrow and pain, the soul must have the courage to rebuild itself and the faith to trust in a higher power. Penstemon flower essence has enormous strengthening powers, enabling the soul to tap into reservoirs of courage and resilience which are normally inaccessible to human consciousness. At its deepest level of transformation. Penstemon essence shows the soul that it has freely chosen even the harshest circumstances for its growth and evolution..."
