According to unicorns, all you need in life is good grazing, good grooming and good company - it's nice when you can find them all in one field.

An arid bouquet for my Sandstorm fans! 🪨 (I’m glad someone said something to make me want to make this after all; desert flowers are cool!)

The desert is as foreign a place I’ve ever been, having lived along temperate / subtropical coastlines my whole life. I always thought it beautiful though, a cool place to visit (with some intense sun protection XD)

Speaking of, Sora doesn’t transform into a Rock-type in Sandstorm, but her Weather Ball does! So on go the Safety Goggles to keep her safe from the grit in the air. >u<

Just as the desert is strange to me, so too is Sandstorm - when I was thinking of whether or not to draw this, I sketched out a possible Sand team full of my favorite Rock, Ground, & Steel types. It was interesting! Meanwhile, I had fun learning about the desert flora in US arid regions (we can imagine these grow in Unova’s dusty Route 4 & Desert Resort). 🌵🌺

Sand Verbena - a flower endangered in some places, growing happily in dry, sandy soil.

Fairy Duster - a whimsical beauty that blooms around this time of year (definitely Lacey’s favorite flower, hehe)

Desert Chicory - also known as “plumeseed”, it’s as low maintenance a flower as you can get.

Hedgehog Cactus - one of many flowering cacti, one variety makes fruit that tastes like strawberries.

Brittlebush - a common sign of spring, its leaves start out greener, then progressively fades to white the hotter & drier it gets.

Gold and Green If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, I’m sure you know that central Florida is absolutely loaded with wildflowers, and that many of those wildflowers are considered “weeds”. Since my office is located in the local landfill, we have plenty of weeds growing in the area. Our area is especially hospitable to those weeds that like to come into disturbed areas.…

Two Bees On Desert Chicory — HDR Image by kenne “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” ― Rachel Carson
