Native plant miniprints posts part two! These prints will be available on my etsy on the equinox, m.20 2023.
Since part of why I wanted to work on this project is that I wanted to learn more about familiar, local plantlife (I'm on treaty 7), I figured I should share some of that information while posting them. If you have any other information about these plants please share! Many of these plants have been used medicinally but thats not info I'm qualified to give.
Smooth Blue Beard Tongue, Penstemon nitidus
- grows in rocky, sandy conditions
- gets its name from the fuzzy yellow stamen "tongue"
Wild Blue Flax, Linum lewisii
- can be used to make cordage, fabric, paper etc.
Blue Columbine, Aquilegia brevistyla
- sometimes called granny's bonnet
- comes in a ton of different colors
- their latin name Aquilegia references eagle claws for the curling spur petals
find the rest of the posts here, including any future additions:

The Port Arthur Massacre took place in 1996, in Port Arthur, Tasmania. Thirty-five people were killed, twenty-four were wounded. The government, and people, quickly took steps to ensure that nothing like it would happen again. There have been mass shootings in Australia since 1996, but none have resulted in the deaths of more than eight people, including the shooter.
Australians are able to get guns if they want - for hunting, sport target shooting and collections. Farmers and ranchers use guns to put down sick or injured animals, or to shoot predators that threaten their livestock. No one with any sense would claim that the people of Australians are "slaves" or that Australia is a dictatorship where people have no rights.
The USA, on the other hand, accepts that mass shootings will happen, on average, everyday. Mass shootings on the scale of Port Arthur happen every year or so. We've already had a worse one in 2024.
Sensible gun control, like what Australia has, could work in the USA. Or we could just continue to accept mass shootings in schools and parks as the price of "freedom".
