This leaf appears to have been eaten.
Flowers and Buds

Bunny, Mushroom, Freesia, and Dianthus
Freesia has a lovely fragrance. The dianthus does not produce a fragrance similar to cloves. Its fragrance is typical carnation.
Senecio Bud
The Senecio was a cutting from my first Senecio plant. The plant roots where it lands. It does produce a fragrance similar to cloves.
I like that the plant fills empty spaces.
This is the original pieces that I snagged from the Trapped Cactus.

A Nice Surprise
Monday, March 16th, 2020Tucked away on the back of a shelf in the greenhouse was this dead plant. I just couldn’t bear to toss in the recycle bin. Kept thinking one day I might slice it open and just maybe, use it in a piece.
Today I found a plantlet rooted in a wee bit of soil at the base of the saucer.
Plantlet Find in a Peculiar Place
Thursday, February 20th, 2020When I opened my flower press today, I found something interesting…
…the leaves that I gathered from a dying succulent now have plantlets. How cool is that?!
One of the reasons that I am loving succulents is how resilient many are and often how easy it is to make more plants.
The dried leaf colors and textures are gorgeous!
The dried leaf brought to mind my bronze dagger series, Tools for Rent.
