“What is that?”

“WHAT is that?”

“I don’t know.”

“I DON’T know.”

“We don’t know.”

Climbing Rose (Rosa 'Altissimo') OK I'm a little bit late, but here's my illustration for @kevinjaystanton's #Sproutober day one!

Sproutober 14: Wild Space: Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum)

Helichrysum (from the greek “ helios “ Sun and “ chrysos “ Gold) Italicum (as it has been described for the first time in Italy) is also known as Immortelle (French name, due to the fact its flowers last for a very long time), Italian strawflower or curry plant. It is a 40 to 60 cm high bush found around the Mediterranean. It produces flowers between may and august.

Despite being a relatively common plant in Corsica, Sardinia and the littoral area of the Balkans, it is a rare species that’s protected in some countries.

While its smell is close to curry, it isn't used as spice but can be turned into essential oil, having various medicinal properties.

Linktober day 2 - Deity

thanks @sharing-a-room-with-an-open-fire and @nausikaaa for tagging me (at @nonbaznary)!

firstly i want to share my sproutober WIPs! its a SUPER COOL 21-day october challenge about plants and ive been having lots of fun!!

these are just the base draft of the characters, i'll probably make these for every three days and then kind of mass post all of them by the last week of october when i actually finish them. not sure yet! just having fun

and from a similar point, im having a "non conventional edible/food plants" seminar this weekend, and in brazilian portuguese their acronym is PANCs, which is kind of pronounced like "punks" (and this caused some misunderstadings surrounding the seminar lolol), and that gave me the idea to make a GARDENING IS PUNK collection with punk PANCs!
