Blog Post #2

Updating the blog cause that is what you are supposed to do. I have nothing else to say so here is a drawing of some Orange Clockvines.

A belated 6 month blanket update! I've added a lot of different kinds of flowers this past month, including:

Clockvine

Plumeria

Petunia

Carnation

Anemone

The white petunias are based on firefly petunias, and they glow in the dark!

I've started a new job, so I don't have as much time to make elaborate flowers, but I'm determined to see this project through.

💐for the flower vibe meme uwu

"A flower for Neff, hmm? Let's see... Clockvines? I think they'd match her eyes, at least. They kinda of resemble mornin' glories, and their name comes from the fact that as they grow they wrap clockwise 'round supports. They can be used as medicine, or are used as fodder for animals to eat. People use 'em for heavy menstruation, fever reduction, and poultice for open wounds."

Finally got the last of the daffodil bulbs planted. I don't know if they'll bloom this year, or maybe bloom really late. Nick and I cut down the roses and the dead clematis and peonies and we set up the panels of Ivan's dog kennel against the fence where we can use it to train the climbing roses and clematis when they start to grow again. Playing with ideas of other things that could be grown there as well-- sweet peas maybe, or clockvine. This poor windflower is trying so hard to bloom even in the freezing rain we had a couple weeks ago. The hellebore is just starting to develop buds. I know it's not even halfway through winter yet but I'm so excited for Spring to come.

Some clockvine lore

I'm lazy to get the pictures but in the AU, claggor was talking about a certain yellow flower that can purify the air in the undercity but it's not efficient enough I think powder says "not unless you plant a million of them" and milo says "no way" (idk if I'm remembering correctly)

I saw someone also point out some of sky's notebook sketches was on plants and flowers, idk if its canon she's a bio-engineer but I hc it now

I think my s/i first hoped to add greenery to the undercity but wasn't sure how achievable it was. He studies in piltover so he got in touch with sky to ask about the plant stuff so he had some idea. So in the next few weeks we went to the undercity to check out how suitable it could potentially be or if it's a long shot, couldn't hurt to try

Even though the sewage pipes leading to the firelights base is complicated, I feel like if you stand at the right area on top and look down, you could see the gigantic tree?? So eventually he does notice it, maybe from quite a distance so he didn't know there were people there, just that there was some green and sunlight obviously reached there. So he tried to find a way down and one of the firelights caught him like tresspasing or something lmao then he meets ekko later it's along that vein. and explains his thing and ekko wants to help so from then on they worked closely and wren stays over at the base a lot.

I don't think they figured out the thing about the yellow flowers yet, they have just been planting trees.

Not sure about the timeline for the ship lore but then Ekko goes to the AU. During that conversation I mentioned earlier, they were on the topic of plants in the undercity so he asked where Wren was.

They asked, who's Wren?

They didn't meet in that AU, there were no firelights, the ones improving the undercity was everyone he knew, his friends and family. Himself too of course but not with the firelights, and not with Wren who didn't go down to accidentally meet him in person.

When ekko returns to the og universe he tells wren about the flowers and they'll eventually plant their own. Plus ekko leads a community that he can mobilise to do it on a larger scale. Although in the og verse the air is much worse so it'll probbaly take more than planting flowers to turn things around, but it's some impact nonetheless

It's either that or they already knew about the flowers and were already planting a number of them themselves before ekko went to the AU. So he goes and sees he and wren also did the same, and even were ahead in progress.

I guess what wren represents for him is just. Company in the journey towards what his dream for the undercity could be. In the AU episode in canon ekko says he "gave up on the undercity" so I guess if he had always been independent he would start thinking that. It's when he sees the undercity in the AU that changed his mind, but I feel like that trigger would also happen if he was shown that a way to improve the undercity was to better the environment through nature and involving the community he knows of to plant and be responsible for what they plant. I feel like that's a tangible thing that could inspire him to keep going and was sparked from wren's idea that he introduced to him when they met

Lol idk it's 5am goodnight

Blog Post #3

I do not understand Tumbler.

I have been looking at the site and it tells me I have "notes". Are these mine, or does someone leave a note on my post? These indecipherable concepts continue to elude my understanding. Regardless, I will continue to update this blog on Tumbler for the same reasons as I mentioned in 'Blog Post #2'.

Since it would be unkind of me, here is another image I had drawn previously to round out this post, and perhaps bring me just a bit closer to discerning what a "note" is.

A new snapshot from https://sagesacre.com/2021/05/09/thunbergia-ate-the-duck-enclosure/

Thunbergia Ate the Duck Enclosure

Among my great $1 rescues was this Orange Clockvine (Thunbergia gregorii) I got from a nursery going out of business as a scraggly stick in a 1 gallon pot.

I planted it at the corner of the duck pen hoping the fencing might give it some support to grow on.

Clockvine consumed an entire 15x10x8 foot duck enclosure

Twenty years later it’s consumed the entire pen, top to bottom, side to side over the whole 10 foot by 15 foot pen. Every spring it starts to bloom and doesn’t stop until the first winter freeze. Sometimes it’s covered so densely in orange flowers that it literally shows up on satellite images.

A great $1 investment.
