Fouquieria splendens - Ocotillo - Pure Silver Necklace with Coral https://www.etsy.com/listing/1077877787/fouquieria-splendens-ocotillo Ocotillo is such an incredible plant.  I learned a lot about it while collecting my samples.  Such as the thorny parts start as a modified leaf, which is what I captured in this necklace. I feel like this is a good time to bring up asking a plant before you pick it.  The first two plants I met were in people's yards.  The first one was still in dormancy.  The second was in bloom, but it didn't feel right to collect from it so I didn't.  But I stopped and looked down and there was a perfect flower at my feet.  The next plant I met and intended to harvest from, I asked the plant and a leaf cluster pretty much fell off into my hand.  It isn't always so clear like this, but I wanted to share these special moments with you as a reminder to be gentle and aware with the world around you instead of just taking what you want without thought. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 🌱
