Someone just liked this post out of the blue & I’m so glad because I had completely forgotten about #MillionsMissingFlowers where we’re invited to share endangered flower art on the last day of the month, in solidarity with the millions missing from ME around the globe

Photograph of an open square sketchbook on a grey surface. On the open page is a pattern with a dark purple background then some purple flowers and white flowers are on top along with small ochre flowers. In between all the flowers are green leaves.
This months #millionsmissingflowers is a pattern inspired by Campanula patula & Moneses uniflora which are both endangered in the UK.
This pattern was created in honour of two severe ME patients Millie and Carla who are both currently in hospital struggling to get the treatment they need.
Sharing #millionsmissingflowers #togetherendangered to also raise awareness of #ME. Colchicum autumnale is native to Ireland (like some of my ancestors). It has medicinal properties, which makes me think of all the therapeutic potential, known and unknown, we lose as more plants become extinct.
