time to say goodbye

#moomin #moomintroll #snufkin #snufmin #my art #my autumn moomin painting for this year!! #(except i’m ~2 months late) #shoutout to my girlfriend for helping with the illuminated border #border plants (left to right) are bilberry and common hawkweed #(<- edit: the plants have no meaning they’re just both found in finland lol)

Winged Bull, based on the Jagdeep Rajput shot that is a contenter for the the 2022 Wildlife Photography awards. It's such a fun shot and was fun to turn into a creature.

I think his name is Undeterred By Marigolds, and he likes fresh vegetables, especially when someone else so kindly grew them for him :)

#Illustration #beast #Winged Bull #He's a garden-raiding little shit #but also animals (holy or otherwise) have no concept of property so can you really blame him #the joke is that Marigolds smell awful to most large garden pests so you plant them around your borders

hey if ur in the midwest or more specifically missouri here’s some websites i’ve found helpful for finding native seeds and live plants (they’re not all in missouri or the midwest specifically but have some seeds from around here too bc truly human made borders are fake and plants go wherever they want so):

wildseedproject.net

mowildflowers (this websites cool bc they’ll deliver live plants to you if you live nearby enough and they also go to different places around missouri all year to sell plants at festivals or events or whatnot)

nativewildflowers.net

swallowtailgardenseeds.com

strictlymedicinalseeds.com

toadshade.com

treeseeds.com

ouriquesfarm.com

putnamhillnursury.com

sugarcreekgardens.com

prairiemoon.com

seedvilleusa.com (also on etsy)

mybutterflylady on etsy

everwilde.com

and if u ever need help or info or whatever about plants or even find a place to exchange plants and buy some on a forum check out dave’s garden

if anyone knows any other websites and wants to add them on i’d totally appreciate that c: !

(i will update this with more websites too if i come across any)

Plant of the Day

Saturday 23 December 2023

At Gordon Castle, Scotland, these pillars of Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea Group (copper beech, purple beech) add height and structure to the 100m long central borders. The designer Arne Maynard surrounded the topiary tree pillars with herbaceous plants in a soft colour palette with flowers and foliage of blue, purple and white with touches of yellow and apricot.

Stormy summer skies...

Flynn turning back towards home, before we got rained on (again!).

#we've had a lot of rain & thunderstorms so far this summer #the plants are happy #Flynn & I are less impressed - although I guess I'd take a bit of rain over an insane heatwave (which we're apparently due to get soon!) #Flynn #border collie #dog #storm clouds #summer #path #england

A walk with Flynn on the last Sunday of April 2023. Every year spring seems to take me by surprise. One moment, the woods are a quiet study in shades of brown & the next, there’s wildly vibrant colour everywhere. It’s so green!! It’s a magical transformation. I don’t know if Flynn notices the change in seasons much... as long as he can run & play & sneak about, he’s happy!

stars of the week<3 sweet pea (earl grey); rose (silver jubilee); second rose was ALSO supposed to be silver jubilee but classic bare root rose mixup brought me a fun surprise instead; mock orange (little white love) (smells like orange blossom ^_^), unidentified bush fuschia bought from home bargains that's been star of the spring&summer and beloved by bees

#plant bare af in the second pic because i just picked them all lol got 2 vases full today #if anyone knows what that rose is ill be your bestie i didnt have any luck and i got bored trawling thru endless rose varities #hannah gordonmaybe but im not sureee #stuff around the sweet peas arentweeds theyre night scented stocks grown from seed #im hoping they come out in time but theyre going to make a super cute border in frontof the peas!!

in hindsight, im not sure what i would've done with the past 1.5 years if i didnt have houseplants. like, im sure i wouldve done stuff but this is the first consistent hobby ive had in a really long time! and its really a hobby of patience and subtle appreciation. i rarely see results immediately, and there's often a lot of waiting to see if what i've done (repotting, fertilizing, moss poles...) actually help. will my propagation root? yes, itll just take a while!

its given me a ton of confidence and patience, and an acceptance of failure. plants can and will die, no matter what i do -- they are living things, and they are want to do their own thing! im also always learning something new!!

and that failure just makes the small moments of success that much more sweet. my neon pothos had root rot, kept dying when i put it in water, continued rotting after i chopped & propped into water, then ignored it for 3 months at work and now have a beautiful plant

and even when they arent rescues...my ponytail palm's progress is so subtle. it doesnt put out new leaves like other plants, it grows thicker and stronger fronds, sometimes sprouting new ones! one of my sleeper favs tbh

and honestly as a hobby...gives me guaranteed time to be away from tech, do something with my hands. silently observe my environment, and decorated my room so nicely (without feeling too cluttered like i do w other trinkets)

ive also been able to swap and send plants to so many people, which is always so fun:]

#ellis.txt #i think ive promised this before and i DO prommy if any of you see a plant i post and want a cutting i will Do My Darndest to send one to u #limited by borders unfortunately live plant shipping across countries difficult. :(

Consciousness is alluring. The truth and the core self are like a lover undressed; you know only you will see them this way, and that when the world looks on they will see creases in fabric and face, a friend, an option. But you, when you trace your hands upon that true reflection, will know the rawness of skin and the taste of flesh that will linger through every moment you are away, and your internal eyes will forever be imprinted with their sweet perfume that only you know they wear in bed.

#necessary context that this is nondualist concept shiva and not person/deity/power of nature shiva #there are many shivas in my work. sorry for the confusion. #spiritual art #symbol: shiva #there are too many symbols in this to tag #symbol: plants #youre getting a catch all tag bc im not tagging every plant i ever use in art. its jasmine and angels trumpet here #green sections of the border are collectively. to summarise. raw organic fertility and the physical world and body #and then the red parts are sexuality and the mental world. both are about receptivity and activity and the union of both #gold ring is the ring around a black hole. the dancing lights of the external appearance (mental material and everything in between) #and the allure of impermanent reality emanating from the black unknown of Truth #anyway. thats the main stuff. other stuff like waters of the mind implying reflecting on a surface and uhhhh blue of the hair being #the waters flowing outwards are kinda... the last big things before the rest goes into subjective stuff #like the rain and water cycle references
