Sketching seedpods and planning a native wildflower balcony

I've been collecting a lot of wildflower seedpods lately, mostly roadside finds from plants around the neighborhood. I thought it might be nice to take a closer look and do a sketching session with some of the seedpods.

You're welcome!

Awh, delicate and lovely. Glad your thinking of interests of growing for your balcony.

[@NatureSketchbook]

Thank you Roksanna as always! 💚

Really enjoyed watching your sketching process and I love the idea of including native plants at home. I planted Nigella once and had it for years later (from reseeding). Thanks for sharing your finds and very lovely sketches with us😊❤️

[@NatureSketchbook]

Thank you! 💚 That probably means I won't have to worry about the Nigella disappearing. ☺️

we dont have a garden, just a bunch of flowers and veggies in pots but they are a lot of plants that pollinators like and since its scotland, lack of rain isnt a problem lol

[@NatureSketchbook]

If the insects love it, that's great! And good to hear at least some areas still have enough rain. 💚

Lovely! I too am fascinated with seed pods! Thank you. Have you heard about the perpetual nature journal by Lara Call Gastinger? ☺️

[@NatureSketchbook]

Thank you Dawn! 💕 I know Lara's work, it's amazing!

What pen and nib did you use. Was it waterproof ink. Love the idea. Thank you.🌺

[@NatureSketchbook]

Thank you! :-) I used a Kaweco Sport pen with Rohrer + Klingner Sketch Ink, which is waterproof and safe to use with fountain pens.
