Pantone 680 color match.

A leaf from my Variegated String of Hearts plant my sister gave me that almost died but came back to life 😅 Good thing I decided to hang on to it and gave it a chance. It survived on 4 leaves then it grew back again after a year 🙌 I was so happy!

Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are celebrating it! 🩷😊

Pantone 493 color match.

Sea urchin shell I got from Key West earlier this year.

I bought the smallest one I could find in a big box of sea urchin shells. I didn’t know they come in many beautiful shades of colors. Wish I took a picture of it, forgot! 😅

Glass Gem Corn seeds color wheel

(the set from my Pantone color matches)

When I found out about this fascinating corn variety a couple of years ago, I’ve been wanting to take color match photos of the stunning multicolor kernels.

Its origin traces back to Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer living in Oklahoma. Barnes had an uncanny knack for corn breeding. More specifically, he excelled at selecting and saving seed from those cobs that exhibited vivid, translucent colors. After many years, his painstaking efforts created this wondrous corn cultivar called Glass Gem Corn.

So glad I’m finally able to match their colors! See my page to see the Pantone color matches 😊

I didn’t know this wonderful natural healer has beautiful flowers too! 💛

Came across these flowering plants while visiting Galveston with my sister and her family.

Helicopter seeds pod of Drummond red maple tree #acerrubrumdrummondii

They’re also called Samaras.

This week was Spring break for my kids. We didn’t travel anywhere and decided to just do staycation 😊 My husband & I took a day off on Monday to go to the Houston Zoo with our kids. Or at least that was the plan. The zoo was “like a zoo”! 🤪 The line was so long because all the school districts in the greater Houston are doing Spring Break on the same week this year 🤷🏻‍♀️ So we decided to just hang out at the nearby park, got some vegan gelato, and rented a pedal boat. It turned out to be so fun and relaxing! We had a gorgeous day with a cloudy sky and lots of cool breeze. On the walk back to our car, I saw this tree that was completely covered in what I thought were red leaves. Turned out they were red maple seeds! Never saw this type of tree in Houston before. I took some for this color match. It was a truly lovely day 🥰

I thought it’s a timely post for this. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💚😊

Sorry I haven’t posted on here for a while. No particular reason other than life has been super busy for my family. In case you’re wondering, I am still doing this personal project and have no plan to stop 😊 Thanks for still following along!

Pantone 1375 color match. The inside of a Golden Berry. Also called Cape Gooseberry.

I found these berries at my local grocery store the other day. I’ve never had them before. They’re both sweet and tart. Delicious 😋 Have you ever eaten them?

Lantana seed pods, from a Lantana plant in my backyard that was planted by the birds 😊 Check the previous post to see the flowers.

Lantana flower buds from my backyard. They look like teeny tiny little bow ties 😙 Credit goes to the bird who probably pooped out the seeds, as I didn’t do anything. The plant just popped up one day and kept growing 😁

Pantone 431 color match.

A seashell piece I found at South Padre Island beach during my family vacation two weeks ago. It grabbed my attention because of the gray blue color and the “flecks” of gold.

It was our first time going to South Padre Island, and it’s safe to say it’s become our family’s new favorite vacay spot in Texas 💙 We spent lots of times on the beach, of course. My kids loved every moment of it! We came home so refreshed after this trip. I’m hoping we can go again pretty soon!

Purslane flower.

I bought a Purslane plant in a hanging pot to replace another plant that died during the Texas freeze in February. This plant can grow easily between concrete cracks and is considered a weed. But it has gorgeous flowers!

You can eat them too — leaves, stems, flowers, seeds! Its properties include vitamins A, B and C, magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, and Omega 3. What’s not to love? 💕😍
