The colour! Never would have guessed at these colours and that pattern, it’s honestly really quite lovely. I wish I could get a better photo of what the inside looks like.
woo i am such a fan of dramatic plants. just prissy fucking plantlife, be it unreasonable or implacable or ostentatious. plants, man
u know what yeah, letâs talk about weird nonsense plants
1. Living Stones
these plants imitate rocks. who does that?
imagine deciding to straight up evolve into rocks as a defense mechanism. i had a whole rant planned but now iâm remembering that i have, in the past, on multiple occasions, daydreamed about being a rock. like that has been a recurring theme in my rich inner fantasy life. i would not forsake the opportunity to evolve into a stone.
2. Hookerâs Lips
ostentatious. flamboyant. vulgar. garish. randy. dare i say whorish? yes. this plant is whorish.
pucker up you hussy
3. Hoya Hearts
overused trope. lacks subtlety and creativity. truly, they just went with the first thought to pop in their head, no brainstorming involved. âho ho ho iâm just gonna grow into a fucking HEART, thatâll show em!â Needy & basic bitch. looks cute on a desk
4. Lifesaver Plants
manages to be both psychedelic and disapproving. reminiscent of a prudish great auntâbut like, one who did a lot of LSD in the 70s. evidence of an alien lifeform who crash landed and then decided, fuck it, iâm gonna rent a one-story in the midwest and decorate it with vintage wood paneling & floral upholstery. probably smells like stale weed and glass ashtrays
5. Happy Alien Flowers
yes that is their NAME. sort of anticlimactic, but take a gander:
they are absolute sluts for drama, as demonstrated by the little hussies pictured above are YELLING AT ME. they bring to mind seagulls engaged in a Shakespearean blood feud. this flowers have committed aggravated manslaughter and probably got away with it too.
6. Bat PlantÂ
aka Catâs Whiskers aka Devil Flower. how fucking emo is that??? this plant listens to mcr and is probably the gay cousin. they never got the hang of eyeliner but that doesnât stop them from trying, bless em. their impetuous devil-may-care persona is hindered by their crippling social anxiety. iâm immensely fond of this plant. theyâll come into their own once they graduate and move away from college, but in the mean time they sit with the tech crew at lunch. you go little Bat Plant!Â
 7. Dancing Plants
total band kids. also called Semaphore Plants, bc they look like theyâre trying to flag down a plane. nifty fuckersÂ
in conclusion, three cheers for whiny, namby-pamby, scatterbrained plantlife
Me and @beautifultrees07 are plotting to do a secret guerilla pumpkin patch in a neglected waste patch by a local freeway. Itâs gonna look cute!
Update! We cleared this area of invasive (and abrasive!) weeds, hoed the rocky and barren soils, amended the earth (with a layer of straw for drainage and to hold moisture/encourage mycelium), created 18 pumpkin mounds of different varieties (Atlantic Giant, Jarrahdale, Lumina, Cinderella, Jack Oâ Lantern, Musquee de Provence, and Red Warty Thing) in 96 degree weather so like, donât even question our love for pumpkins and soil restoration! We added flowers for beautification and to attract pollinators. We moved discarded mattresses, furniture pieces, and removed bags of trash, glass, and dog poop. The pumpkin vines will reach maturity in October and weâre looking forward to the growth!
Update! Remember her??? Be careful who you call ugly!! Our guerilla garden/secret pumpkin patch is really shaping up! Pumpkin vines are growing strong and healthy, cucumber plants are producing, and corn stalks are growing taller! This lot used to be filled with dog poop, mattresses, and discarded furniture! Hopefully weâll have pumpkins soon. Me and my two sisters laid all the groundwork for this garden and itâs being maintained mostly by one of my sisters and other volunteers. We love to restore the soil, revive barren land, and coax pumpkins from the earth just in time for Hallowâs Eve ~Â
Another update from August 5:
Foliage is thick and lush and baby pumpkins are forming! Weâre excited for the turn of the season and to have a little pumpkin patch ready for Halloween
An update from today, August 7th! (btw you can follow the instagram page for this group garden @threesisters_garden). We have a lot of different pumpkin varieties! This one below is Atlantic Giant:
This next one is Red Warty Thing (yknow the one thatâs red with warts)
And the one below is Jarrahdale (will be a silvery green pumpkin)
Update from August 16! Pumpkins are growing bigger and stronger by the day!
Look at the Red Warty Thing variety below! She is growing warts and we couldnât be more proud!

Another update from today, August 23: the Red Warty Thing pumpkin has grown more warts!
Update to the thread: we harvested everything and theyâre beautiful! Stunning!
Some pumpkins were stolen before they reached their full potential but these are the ones we managed to harvest! There are 5 different varieties in this line-up (from left to right, Jarrahdale, Jack O Lantern, Cinderella, Red Warty Thing, and Lumina). Itâs wild to see how this little neglected strip of earth by the side of the freeway could produce such beautiful pumpkins with a few soil amendments and TLC
The pessimist in me is SHOCKED this wasnât either vandalized or uprooted by local government employees. GLAD IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.
