Lucky quadrilliums, anyone? Large white trillium and wakerobin with a few extra parts. Quadrilliums are rare mutants and always exciting to find. Now you can wear one!

Hi! I just found your blog and wanted to share a couple pictures I took a while back!

Not sure what any of them are but the bush in the third picture was gorgeous!

The first and third pictures were on top of a ridge south of Cle Elum in summer, and the white flowers were north west of there near Cooper Lake, and it was in early to mid spring

I know you’re on the west side and that’s your specialty but do you happen to know what any of these are?

The top left is one of my favorites, it's my profile picture too. That's red flowering currant or Ribes sanguineum. Popular hummingbird plant and the leaves smell really good when crushed imho. The top left is probably Trillium ovatum, more commonly known as western trillium. These are bulb plants that go totally underground when dormant. Their seeds produce a substance that ants like to eat, so ants will carry the seeds back to their homes and it spreads that way. Sometimes if conditions aren't right they won't come up for multiple years in a row. I've never seen the last one before but my friend who's another admin on this blog helped me key it out and we think it's most likely Ribes lobbii. I guess it's commonly known as gummy gooseberry?? Apparently the berries are edible but not particularly palatable because of the sticky bitter hairs.

A few mementos from a short hike on the Virgin Hemlock Tail this morning. Cold, damp weather has settled into NC West Virginia, but any rain is welcome following an unusually dry winter and spring (opposite of the West Coast). From top: the ever balletic but stinky red trillium (Trillium erectum); long-spurred violet (Viola rostrata); wood anemone (Anemone quinquefolia), longing for a burst of sun to open its flowers; trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens), a ground-hugging shrub in the heath family; early meadow-rue (Thalictrum dioicum); and an Eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus), a terrestrial salamander of rich, damp mountain woods.

OH HI re: that other anon I id'd and looked up the meanings of all the flowers :3

kasa:

blue anemone - firm pledge, gifts to friends/lovers whom which you have made important promises.

clivia - nobility, sincerity

easter lily - purity, dignity, sweetness

emu:

orange coneflower - loveliness, purity, justice

daisy - hope, happiness. also worth noting it seems like this daisy specifically is a shasta daisy, which is a hybrid; its scientific name is leucanthemum × superbum, similar to the way wonderlands × showtime is formatted. emu also came up with this formatting for their troupe name

garden star of bethlehem - purity

nene:

red rose - passion, love, beauty

peony (I was so unsure about this but) - shyness, bashfulness, compassion

white plum blossom - nobleness, loyalty, patience, elegance

rui:

orchid - elegance and beauty, but also lots of meanings to the effect of; unchanging love, i will never forget you, forever with you, a special person, etc. it all kinda depends on species and color but I can't for the life of me identify these specific ones

pacific trillium - wisdom, profound beauty

elderflower - innocent, soothing, compassionate

Thank you!! Those meanings mostly fit really well clpl is really good at picking out flowers for card art

I finally finished putting patches on my pencil case/art bag! Some I made myself, some I purchased, and some had been sitting in my mom's sewing kit for 20+ years so I just took them. 😂

[ID: A brown canvas purse with embroidered patches all over it. Individual patch descriptions in the next image. End ID.]

The front. I have a lot of Critical Role stuff on this bag, as it's my current hyperfixation.

[ID: Top - The top flap of the front pocket. Has a blue embroidered patch of the Bell's Hells logo from Critical Role on the left, and enamel chibi pins of two of the Bell's Hells characters, Ashton and Orym, on the right.

Bottom - The bottom flap of the front pocket. There is a triangular, blue and white Girl Guides patch; a round, green patch with a person considering 3 roads before them; a homemade patch of a blue, cartoon dragon head: a honeybee patch; a red and black patch that says "Just Don’t"; a rectangular, black patch with a yellow border and a blue violin; and a black and white patch of the Critical Role logo. End ID. ]

Close-ups of the front patches and pins. I'm pretty sure the green one and the violin patch are badges from my Girl Guide days. The triangle patch is from the Guiding troop I was in in my hometown, but I've blanked out the town name for privacy reasons. The dragon patch I made myself.

[ID: The back of the purse, featuring more embroidered patches. There is a rectangular Asexual Pride flag patch; a watermelon slice patch; a black and white, oval-shaped patch from the TV show Supernatural that says "Protected by Castiel"; a rainbow with clouds patch; and a black and red patch that features the Anarchy symbol of an A inside a circle. End ID.]

The Ace Pride patch and the Anarchy patch are handmade. I've had the Castiel patch sitting around for a while, and just had to figure out what to put it on.

[ID: A side panel of the purse. On top there is a patch shaped like a mushroom that has a red cap and white spots. On the bottom is a colourful Ashari symbol from Critical Role that resembles 2 stacked hourglasses with a diamond in the center. End ID.]

These two are both handmade. The mushroom was the first patch I ever made myself. The second is the symbol of the Ashari, a druidic culture from the world of Exandria in Critical Role.

[ID: the other side panel of the purse. On top is a rectangular patch featuring a white Trillium flower and "Ontario" printed in yellow letters. Underneath is a round patch with the Antifascism symbol of a black flag and a red flag waving together on a white background. End ID.]

The top one is a patch I found in my mom's sewing kit. I decided to use it because I'm from Ontario, and the trillium (the provincial flower) is pretty. The other one is an Antifa patch that I made myself.

[ID: Photos of each side of the purse's shoulder strap. A series of colourful pin-back buttons runs the length of each side. End ID.]

I also have a bunch of buttons pinned to the strap. Most of them are fandom buttons for Pokémon, Doctor Who, Supernatural, and Undertale. Some have funny sayings printed on them. A couple are for different causes, like environmental protection, and free university education.

I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! There's a little bit of space under the front flap that I could potentially put a couple more patches or pins on, but I'm happy to take a break from this one for now. It was actually pretty challenging to get them all sewn on. 😅
