A flower pic and a true confession (scroll down!) . #whitebleedingheart is one of my favorite flowers. I transplanted some from a friend into my garden, and it thrived and flowered in the first year! Since I was little, I have been fascinated by the shape of these delicate blooms. Have you ever grown bleeding hearts? Which variety do you favor? . I've been thinking about follow counts and algorithms because Instagram is geared around the grind. And I've been thinking about how important it is to enjoy what I do. I know garden snapshots aren't everyone's cup of tea. ☕ But, I don't like pressuring myself to speed up art production just so I can have a new piece to show every week. It's healthier for me to take my time. And I love showing off one of my other passions; I'm pretty obsessed with my tiny cottage garden! 🌿 I think it would be cool if people only followed me because they actually like my art and my plant-mom photos; I would be okay with a low follower count for the rest of my life if the followers I did have were into it. So don't follow me if all you want is a follow back. I used to play that game, but now I'll follow the work that makes me feel cosy and nice. And there are so many of you out there, making the world better from your little corner. I see you! I'm so glad you are you. 💙✨💙🖖 #realtalk #artistandgardener #bleedingheart #whiteflowers #flowerphotos #mycottagegarden #artistgardener #myownpace #llap https://www.instagram.com/p/B4u_yfzDwkt/?igshid=1plcsso1gz5jb
