Congrats, Mei! Thanks for the tag

I do digital illustrations of a lot of things & try different styles but flowers are among my favorites.

I also tweet about the things I learn while exploring the world of art.
Cheers!

Hedge woundwort, Stachys sylvatica. Lots of people don't like this plant because of its smell, but I like the purple spike of flowers and downy leaves. As the name suggests, it used to be used to heal wounds and at staunch blood loss.

Third: Lobelia / Männertreu Kristallpalast

The sort named crystal palace has such strong blue petals - it fascinates me every year. 😳

Rush skeletonweed! I saw this strange, ethereal weed a lot while runnin’ around the lava field in Craters of the Moon. Always reminded me of so many spider legs bursting from the soil!

Second: Nasturtium /Kapuzinerkresse
I love the form and color of the leaves and the orange-red flowers. The plant is a medicinal herb with a spicy taste.
