#Bat flower

[badstitched]

Throwback to this cute little brown bat I designed! Autumn has finally hit where I live, but there's still flowers blooming. This is where I'd snuggle in for a nap.

Find this pattern in my shop or ask your local needlework shop to stock it!

After almost 6 years, our Bat Flower finally bloomed for the first time recently!

The slightly startling bat flower – officially tacca chantrieri, but also known as devil flower or cat whiskers – in Papaikou, on the east coast of Hawaii. The flowers, which despite their insect-attracting flamboyance are mainly self-pollinating, can be up to 30cm across
