First day of plant surveys today! My favourite find was this little navelwort just next to the path 😊
Photograph of a small plant with round, green, thick, wavy-edged leaves and a stalk coming up from the middle with little round green balls on it.

I make insect art, but sometimes I also wanna make art for insects’ art! So here is an #artvsartist, but the bug version. Insects can be quite OCD some times and make geometrically perfect, aesthetic, and satisfying patterns on mixed mediums! Which one is your favorite artists? 💚

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!
Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."
