Lotus (by: Garden of Eve)

Oh my, I just went to a lotus farm with a friend. Look at this beautiful lotus I bought for my pond. We also ate lotus seeds. They tasted nutty, delish…who knew!🪷

What's this? The seed pod of a lotus flower. Bizarre and rather beautiful, yes?

First Seed Collection

I harvested & dried my very first seeds! 🥰

I never thought I'd be excited to see a flower die, but once I realized there were a bunch of seed pods on my Purple Foxglove, I was over the moon! I was able to collect & save quite a few, & there are still more seed pods left on the plant, so I'll be saving more over the next couple of days. I hope to use them for our friends, & build them a flower bed under the carport.

I also managed to save a lot of Red Coneflower seeds, but my plant is still blooming so there will be more to collect as the cycle continues. I already used all of the saved Red Coneflower seeds for part of the Sunflower fence & fountain area that I'm working on for our friends, so we'll find out if the germination rate is good.... Cause I totally forgot to save some seeds to the side.

I will post later how I saved my seeds, so that way if I need to improve my process in the future, I have somewhere to start, & maybe someone else can get some use out of it. 😉

now in my shop I have some lovely origami seed packets containing native missouri wildflowers harvested from my garden! they're sealed with a watercolor sticker with planting instructions on the back. these are a great way to encourage wildlife in your neighborhood if you're in the midwest/midsouth region!

My Fantasy World Has Bloomed

While searching online, I came across the trend of using dry rice and beans to trace a fantasy map. I loved the idea, but I decided on using flower seeds instead. Because when you want to create something, you start by planting a seed. I thought it was beautiful!

So I gathered a bunch of different flower seeds that I had saved up, such as Zinnia, Sunflower, Lupine, Cosmos, Snapdragons, Daisies, and some wildflower mix, and I spread them across my board, and then shaped them into continents and islands. Here is the result:

After that, I used a pencil to trace along the seeds. Once I had finished and wiped away the seeds, I found that my fantasy world had bloomed! I took a picture of it, put a blue filter on it, and then I erased the blue from the land so it would be more noticeable. Here is the result:

I am so pleased with it. I adore the fact that flowers are what shaped my fantasy world for the book I'm about to start writing. The meaning behind it is beautiful to me. I even plan to include the same flowers in my story that I used to create the map. Zinnia, Sunflowers, Lupine, Cosmos, Snapdragons, Daisies, and wildflowers will all naturally grow and bloom in this fantasy world, and some of them could possibly have an impact on the story just for the symbolism, but who knows.

Anyway, I am in love with this whole process and I had to share it. If you're planning on making a fantasy map, you should consider using this method because I know you'll enjoy it as much as I did! Enjoying the beautiful meaning behind this has also helped my depression a bit. I hope it helps you too! 🌻🌼

It’s finally finished! The flower seed box to accompany my Lorax-themed vegetable seed box

I decided to go for a more multi-media approach for this one, but of course I couldn’t make it 100% serious 😅

The collage bits are mostly cut out from seed catalogs and old gardeners world magazines. The golden drips are supposed to be like honey from the honey comb, and that’s made with hot glue. And of course, there’s a bunch of stickers too because I have way too many and I need to use them somewhere!

As for the seeds themselves, the ones in the bottles and jars are ones I collected myself from old flower heads - I had to throw out my pink rose seeds because they went mouldy, but I store with a desiccant and the rest have held up well (though the proof will be in the planting).

On a more serious note, the vets gave us some forget-me-not seeds after the passing of one of my dogs (she of profile picture fame) and I’m not sure where I’m going to put those… for now they are not in the box because I need to figure out where I’m going to plant them, and having them out reminds me to think on it.
