Drawings of native plants found at Bernheim

These drawings I did as studies for a work I plan to do - where using the dried seeds of native plants, I will compose a 'drawing' of the plant by moving the seeds into a liner representation of the plant - a bit like a plant self-portrait. Whilst researching these plants I also became curious about their given folk names (or common names) - some having up to 7 different names.

Silphium Laciniatum; otherwise known as the compass flower and rosinweed

Ratibida Pinnata; otherwise known as prairie coneflower or grey-head coneflower

Eryngium Yuccifolium; otherwise known as rattlesnake master and button snake-root
