Natural Recollections: 'Swamp Pink’ (Helonias bullata) . Beautiful and elusive, these striking plants are now a rare sight in the wild. Although their former range stretched from Staten Island (NYC) to the Southern Appalachians, ‘Swamp Pink’ populations have steadily declined due to land development and loss of forested wetland habitat. . This paper model (depicting the species in full-bloom) serves to highlight the work of plant scientist Dr. Robert Naczi to investigate and conserve rare native species in the Northeastern United States 🌱 . . . #Melianthiaceae #helonias #wetland #climatechangeart #nativespecies #biodiversity #conservation #bloominary #handmade #paperflowers #botany #allthingsbotanical #instablooms #makersmovement #inspiredbypetals #floralperfection #calledtobecreative  #paperflorist #crepepaperflowers #crepepaperrevival  https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2-5MgHdaI/?igshid=pl2rlpva5zu6

Natural Recollections: 'Parker's Pipewort' in paper... . This tiny, unassuming flower lives an adventurous life. Twice daily it is fully submerged by water, growing only within the narrow strip of habitat between low and high tide in freshwater estuaries. Once abundant on the east coast, this species has disappeared from many portions of its former range, including along the Hudson River. Scientists point to multiple causes for this decline including water pollution, habitat loss due to shoreline development, dams, invasive species and sea level rise. @natureserveorg . These paper reproductions of Eriocaulon parkeri stand to highlight this unique and threatened species, while celebrating the work of #NYBG scientist Dr. Robert Naczi (and many others) to study and conserve native plants along the Hudson River. On display soon at the New York Botanical Garden 🌱 . . . #climatechangeart #intertidal #nativespecies #biodiversity #conservation #eriocaulaceae #bloominary #handmade #paperflowers #botany #allthingsbotanical #instablooms #makersmovement #inspiredbypetals #floralperfection #calledtobecreative  #paperflorist #crepepaperflowers #crepepaperrevival https://www.instagram.com/p/B43I_ZNFUoC/?igshid=bq2zu852nu6k

Yellow roses for a friend. . After a long post-wedding hiatus, this project brought my crafting practice back to life.

Creative joys and vows fulfilled!! 🌼💍💐🌼 For 6 months, these centerpieces were at the center of our lives as @Kavoeglti and I planned and prepared our epic Summer camp wedding. All that time, our minds and hands worked in unison to bring the project of our dreams to life! Their final form expresses our shared love for the wildness and beauty of nature. No words or pictures can express the sense of accomplishment and connection this magnificent adventure has brought us. 🌼🌼💚💜🌼🌼 . Special thanks to @tiffanieturner for use of her gorgeous ‘iceberg floribunda rose’ design, and for so many other wonderful bits of 🌻 wisdom! . . . #bloominary #weddingflowers #paperflowers #papercenterpieces #allthingsbotanical #craftsposure #makersmovement #maker #rsblooms #dsfloral #inspiredbypetals #makersvillage #creatorslane #floral_perfection #calledtobecreative #botany #paperflorist #crepepaperflowers #handmade #instablooms #crepepaperrevival (at Mt Lakes Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SJUURnt2x/?igshid=hwigon4llsfw

Ring around the bellflower!!! This creation is the last element of our wedding centerpieces to be crafted, but only the first to be documented. I’m to excited to see how all the pieces fit together, and can’t wait to share them with you all! #katiefallzimlove #campanula . . #bloominary #paperflowers #wedding #botany #stamens #botanicalart #campanulaceae #botanicalsculpture #centerpiece #allthingsbotanical #craftsposure #makersmovement #maker #rsblooms #dsfloral #inspiredbypetals #makersvillage #creatorslane #floral_perfection #calledtobecreative #paperflorist #crepepaperflowers #handmade #instablooms #crepepaperrevival https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpfC0cHCbg/?igshid=1op9t91wha09u

Like cut flowers, human lives are ephemeral. Our beauty and vigor lasts as long as our bodies and the environment allows. But our memories—when shared with those we love—can last forever. These Alstroemerias were made to celebrate the memories of a long and happy marriage by recreating the color and beauty of their weddings day. Congratulations Larry and Gardner!! 💐 . . #bloominary #paperflowers #botanicalart #asparagaceae #botanicalsculpture #weddingbouquet #allthingsbotanical #craftsposure #makersmovement #maker #rsblooms #dsfloral #inspiredbypetals #makersvillage #creatorslane #floral_perfection #calledtobecreative #botany #paperflorist #crepepaperflowers #handmade #instablooms #crepepaperrevival https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1v8ceHQJ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pfcwu6mcvmw5
