I had designs for older Lumini and Snufkin and I'm so thankful I mostly remember them

Honestly the fact I remember so much of my old stuff is a God send since I don't have them anymore, but now I can remake it!

The blurred stuff was just my friend simping dw

They're so in love 💕

And all the fan kids :DD

Technically there is one more child but she's a kid for two of my other ocs

These two grow up to love each other uwu

福寿草[Fukujusō] Adonis ramosa

福[Fuku] : Good fortune

寿[Ju] : Congratulations

草[Sō] : Grass

The area in my garden where these ones had been planted until three years ago was gradually shaded by other trees and they were weakening, so I replanted them in autumn of the year before last, and they bloomed vigorously again this year. Smaller ones flowered first, the larger ones are still in bud, and some small ones have disappeared. Apparently, some of them have managed to take roots.

It is sensitive to light and temperature, the flowers bloom in search of sunlight and do not open their petals under the shade, at night or on cloudy days. Rindō(Gentiana scabra) behaves similarly, although not as much as that.

It likes 木漏れ日[Komorebi] under deciduous forests. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/木漏れ日

Also look how pretty this perennial kale (Brassica oleracea var. ramosa) ended up! The colors aren't enhanced at all and it looks prismatic like this in real life. Hopefully I can keep it alive and make it a long term fixture in my garden.

White-Margined Moray Eel - Gymnothorax albimarginatus

Ribbon Eel - Rhinomuraena quaesita

Yellow-mouth moray - Gymnothorax nudivomer

Fangtooth Moray - Enchelycore anatina

Info-dumping time! - okay soI study gardening and floristry, however, we do have mandatory landscaping classes as well. And recently we got a homework to design a flower-bed with 4 or more perennial flowers.

Anyway that means I can cause war flashbacks to my elder emo landscaping teacher by submitting a flower-bed inspired by My chemical romance and I figured why not add it here :)

That's the vision

And here are the used plants :)

1. Datura arborea 'alba'

2. Cimicifuga ramosa 'atropurpurea'

3. Fritillaria persica

4. Dicentra spectabilis 'alba'

5. Astilbe arendsii 'happy spirit'

6. Helleborus 'dark and handsome'

7. Tiarella ‘dark Star’

8. Convallaria majalis
