About seeds.






like to 'explore' little seeds, because they often
have a clownish appearance :)
I thought the plant below was a Field Milk Thistle -
that was long time ago by the way - but now I'm not
sure anymore because the seeds don't match,
but anyhow it is a sort of thistle and I like those
funny mini brushes.





Got these marigold cuties from a friend,
and...





... also these borago seeds,
they're in the soil now by the way :)
the illustration comes from
The Complete Encyclopedia of Illustration,
great book!
Campion seed pods in the first image.

have a look here and remember this one?

  1. that seed in your link is amazing!!! it looks like an old chinese or japanese mask. i believe plants are actually trying to say more than we can understand (a bit like the dolphins on the galactic guide to the universe ;))
