This entire forum makes me want to re-read the Giver series by Lois Lowry.  Gathering Blue names so many dye plants that are grown in the main character's garden.  I planted a few of them just because of the book: indigo and madder.  I already had goldenrod, elderberry, yarrow.  Who else is in love with this book...and dye plants???

I'm a fan!
It's been quite a few years since I have read the series and 'Gathering Blue' was a stand out.  
I posted it in my indigo dye thread awhile back https://permies.com/t/37159/fiber-arts/Indigo-blue-growing-harvesting-processing#457592
 
I child proofed my house but they still get in. Distract them with this tiny ad:
