Tears of Joy: Discovering the Magic of Job's Tears
Berkshire Botanical Garden Horticulturist Kessa McEwen introduces us to Job's tears, named both for their teardrop shape and for the biblical figure Job, known for his profound suffering and perseverance. The plant Coix lacryma-jobi produces hard, glossy seeds that have been used in religious items like rosaries and jewelry.
