The Wildflower Litter
ETHEREAL CIRCIUM PULCHERRIMUM
“Thistle”
ETHEREAL LIATRIS
“Finch”
Call name: Finch | Boy
Liatris (pronounced lee-AT-riss), commonly known as Blazing Star, is a golden-purple meadow wildflower native to North America. It’s one of the goldfinch’s favorite wildflowers — the birds hang upside down from its stalks to eat the seeds. His call name Finch comes from the goldfinch, a sweet, golden bird whose favorite food is thistle seed, creating a natural bond with his sister Thistle. He is golden brindle with white, gentle and affectionate, and the quiet soul of the litter. The golden finch and the blazing star are inseparable in nature, just as he and his sisters are.
Call name: Thistle | Girl
Cirsium is the scientific genus for true thistles. Pulcherrimum is Latin for “most beautiful.” Her registered name literally translates to “Most Beautiful Thistle.” Cirsium pulcherrimum is also known as the Wyoming Thistle, a species native to Montana where the litter was born. Most people will hear the name and think it sounds exotic and elegant — but anyone who looks it up discovers it’s a love letter to the thistle, hidden in Latin.
ETHEREAL ASPHODEL
“Daffodil”
Call name: Daffodil | Girl
The English word “daffodil” is actually derived from “asphodel,” making this name a hidden nod to her call name buried within the etymology. In Greek mythology, asphodel meadows were the fields of the afterlife where souls wandered among the flowers — tying beautifully to the kennel name Ethereal. She has a white ring around her neck like the corona of a daffodil, and her name carries that story without ever saying the word. It’s a botanical Easter egg.
ETHEREAL AMARANTHUS
“Mara”
Call name: Mara | Girl
Amaranthus is the genus name for amaranth, derived from the Greek amarantos meaning “unfading” or “immortal.” The amaranth is a tall, dramatic wildflower with deep red tones that was sacred to the ancient Greeks and Aztecs alike. In one of Aesop’s fables, the amaranth tells the rose: “You may be beautiful, but I’m immortal.” She is the biggest puppy in the litter, a dark brindle with red, wild and independent — the unfading flower that stands tall and outlasts everything. Her call name Mara pulls naturally from the first half of Amaranth.

ETHEREAL ONEOTHERA
“Primrose”
Call name: Primrose or Prim | Girl
Oenothera (pronounced ee-no-THEER-uh) is the scientific genus for the evening primrose — a wildflower that blooms at twilight. The name carries a hidden connection to the word “ethereal,” which echoes inside the pronunciation itself. She is black and petite with a white T on her chest, and the evening primrose — a flower that creates beauty in the fading light — felt like the perfect match for a dark, gentle girl. Primula, the broader primrose family, comes from the Latin primus meaning “first,” making her the “first little flower.”
Fed with Intent
Why We Feed Farmina
Choosing what to feed our dogs is one of those decisions that ripples through everything — coat quality, energy, longevity, reproductive health, puppy development. It's a lot like choosing a builder for your house: you can go cheap and cross your fingers, or you can vet the process behind the product.
After extensive research, we chose Farmina as our primary diet at Ethereal Silken Windhounds, and we're confident in that decision.
Here's what stood out to us:
Science-backed formulation, not marketing hype. Farmina partners with the University of Naples Federico II through their Farmina Vet Research division — a team of veterinary nutritionists and formulation specialists. Their diets are developed through peer-reviewed clinical research and validated by independent third parties. That's a level of rigor most pet food companies simply don't invest in.
Ingredients we can actually trust. Farmina uses named animal proteins as primary ingredients, non-GMO produce, and natural antioxidants — no mystery meals, no artificial preservatives. Their manufacturing facilities in Italy operate under European food safety regulations, which are considerably more stringent than North American standards.
Transparency in process. From ingredient sourcing to nitrogen-flushed packaging that preserves freshness, Farmina controls the chain. That matters when you're feeding a breeding program where nutrition directly impacts the health of dams and the development of puppies.
We don't make food recommendations lightly. When we send a puppy home with a new family, we want to know the diet we're recommending was built on research, not trends. Farmina earns that confidence.
The recommendation program is a great way to get new families started. They receive 30–50% off their first Farmina purchase (for first-time Farmina users) and an additional 30% off their second bag. Click the button above or scan the QR code.
