The Answer to Guess the Nature Inspiration #6 Is Arabidopsis ( a member of the mustard family)

You can see the picture that inspired this here. My reason for this particular inspiration had to do with the interviews with amazing artists I have been posting for the past 10 days. Everything starts with an idea and then grows. These teeny tiny little seeds ( that's all of you) with only 5 genes grow to mature plants ( artists and makers of things) in only 6 weeks and then the seed pods burst ( you share what you have created) releasing the new seeds ( inspiration) over a vast area ( the world , virtual or real) and then the cycle starts again and again and again. So there you have it is a tiny little mustard seed all the makings of a creative revolution. We can change the world. No one guessed what the inspiration was so I decided to award the prize to the most inspired answer which was A new comment from “pejnolan” was received on the post “Guess the Nature Inspiration #6” of the weblog “resurrection fern”. Comment: In your post on the 8th you show an embroidary that says, "Trees that grow hearts." I think this is a seed pod from a tree and three little hearts are inside waiting to spring up through the rich soil in which they were planted. Seeds are a symbol of hope, renewal and strength... a miracle of nature. A person's heart is the same. It bounces back with the smallest of hope, tended by the rich earth of faith and grows to love again. This answer really spoke to my heart and mind. Sorry if you didn't win but you will have another chance tomorrow. It is a very special day in Resurrectionfern land and special days deserve special giveaways. See you tomorrow.

Yay! Congratulations to pejnolan, very well deserved, such a heartfelt comment.
I love also the explanation behind this Guess the Nature Inspiration, a creative revolution indeed, from some very tiny and far flung seeds. I have been experiencing a mini revolution of my own this week and know the value of the tiniest of seeds and what they can become.
Thanks Margie for all the inspiration you and your marvelous interviewees have given us over the past week and a bit.

Hi! I recently stumbled across your blog when I was looking for directions to crochet rocks. Wow! My lucky day on the computer. Your words, art, and photos speak to me and for that I would like to thank you. Have you ever read Hannah Hinchman's books? She is a naturalist and artist with a beautiful perspective on the world around us. Have a great weekend and thanks! Cheers.

Thank you.
