Some things come easy. This wasn't one. Finally, success was reached on the practice leather. Now to try it on the real deal. 🙏 #wip #custom #leatherwork #flowers #leatherflowers #lasercut #beltmaking #leatherbelt #inthemaking #leatherart #customdesign #gonnabeawesome (at Lisa M.

Purple is a non-spectral color, unlike the primary colors blue and red in the previous collages. Unlike all its peers purple doesn’t correspond to a single type of electromagnetic radiation, and must always be born out of a mix of two others. Look closely at a rainbow, and you will not see the color purple.

Yet, although purple isn’t a spectral color in the makeup of light, it is a color that can exist naturally and in the visible spectrum, so our brains evolved the ability to perceive it. There are even different shades of purple, such as lavender and orchid. Anthocyanins are responsible for creating purple, the same that create blue and red in flowers.

Purple wildflowers are among my favorites, but I wondered if I could pull together a purple collage from my gallery. As it turned out, I had purple flowers left over. Here is my new purple collage, my favorite of the ones that I have created to date. Like the other two (red and blue) this is formatted to be printed at 36" X 48".

From top to bottom, left to right:

Purple leatherflower (Clematis pitcheri)

Texas skeleton flower (Lygodesmia texana)

Plateau agalinis (Agalinis edwardsiana)

Texas thistle (Cirsium texanum)

Eryngo (Eryngium leavenworthii)

Ground plum (Astragalus crassicarpus)

Spurred butterfly pea (Centrosema virginianum)

Purple pleatleaf (Alophia drummondii)

Purple horsemint (Monarda citriodora)

Bracted twistflower (Streptanthus bracteatus)

Purple prairie clover (Dalea compacta var. pubescens)

my garden looks like a total mess conventionally speaking. but letting all kinds of plants that normally would have been weeded out grow freely means all kinds of cool natives have popped up. goldenrod, slender vetch, ticktrefoil, and plenty of others that my app can't identify for me yet lol. plus the natives i DID plant intentionally last year seem to mostly have all survived and most are doing really well (my instinct is to thin out/transplant some of the ones that are crowding each other but i'm trying to hold off)

and my hibiscus are all doing well now that i'm fertilizing again. (resisting the temptation to buy some more fancy varieties) (i have more plants than i can care for i don't need more) (i desperately want black or blue or brown hibiscus tho) (maybe a reward for the end of semester) my roses are not the best, i can never seem to get rid of the black spot but they still look pretty and smell nice. i'm trying my best to treat them but there's only so much effort i'm willing to put into for purely ornamental flowers (that aren't my beloved hibiscus) and i'm terrible at pruning so they're kind of monstrous to look at lmao

paying attention to my little slice of nature is so rewarding. i'm seeing so many bugs i've never seen before. i'm excited to add all the plants i got at the native plant society sale (i finally got a leatherflower as well as a crossvine!! sadly no passionflower). i can't wait for more of the flowering plants to start blooming and the grasses especially to fill out :3

What a Pleasant Surprise by Picsnapper1212

It's not often that I come across a wildflower that is new to me, but that's just what happened the other day when I spotted this plant growing along the banks of Caesar Creek below the reservoir dam. It keys out as Vase-vine Leatherflower. It is a clematis and the vine grows to be up to 20 feet long. Since I can't remember ever seeing this plant before I'm counting it as a lifer.

In the shadowy undergrowth of an Iowa woodland this Purple Leatherflower (Clematis pitcheri) holds its flower firmly bowed.
