One month into my project and I found myself noticing flowers everywhere - such a lovely addition to my life!
Ben and I had a walk around (our place backs onto a horse paddock) collecting a bunch of flowers and were shocked at just how many we could find! A fun crafternoon activity of collecting and arranging flowers!
Ben also bought me a bunch of flowers which was the perfect excuse to pull out my silver backdrop and get cheesy!
These seeds were waiting to go, fingers crossed I have some flowers to show you guys in three months time.
Our backyard came alive with these tiny pink wildflowers
I went out and took a little video to show you!
I bought a jewel mix of nasturtium for my veggie garden!
And I started making sure to save petals and seeds
Shots of the pretty roses, in our new garden.
I also made a little ceramic flower holder so I could start having a flower on my desk each day :)
The pink wildflowers (from the video above) dropped off and in their place, seeds pods emerged. Our landlord was coming around to mow our yard and I got a little sad that all the seeds would go to waste. I could see the majority of the pods weren't ready to be picked yet but it seemed a better option then being mowed over. Miraculously all the pods, even the green ones, dried out and eventually opened up and I was able to collect all the seeds and plant them :)
Our frangipani tree was in full bloom this month - such a nice fragrance to have on my desk :)
And my new garden bed that I made to plant all the flower seeds in each month! I've already spied tiny sprouts which is making me excited for the months to come!
Forget me not seeds that I sowed.
And my clay seeds balls in production!
Any spare seeds that don't have the potential to be a weed, I've been rolling, and throwing.
How pretty is the Dessert Rose's pod, with it's wispy seeds!

So excited for these cosmos flowers to sprout!

You can see a before shot, in my last post, here.
A cactus that is growing in our yard sprouted 100 amazing & huge flowers (which the bees absolutely loved!). Lowy is pretty confident it's a dragon fruit plant which I'm super excited about!

January thoughts: I'm feeling super inspired and happy about this project and I can't wait to see where the year takes me! Also throwing seeds bombs out the window of the car, whilst Ben drove around town, made me so so giddy :)
