I 🤍🩷💚 #Canadian #bunchberry. Many of our most common #flora and #fauna are the most amazing.

My recent #iNaturalist #observation of this #beauty: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/174032861

This #flower’s close relatives are generally much larger #shrubs and even #trees. And it was #Canada’s representative embroidered on #Meghan #Markle’s #wedding veil.

Here’s a square I made for an art quilt a couple of years ago. This was part of a community project, with one quilt made by Indigenous people and the other by settlers and immigrants. Our squares were to show what we think is important about where we come from. Mine has a bunchberry blossom surrounded by cattails representing wetlands and woodlands on a white background of snow. #quilt #design #Indigenous #art #ArtQuilt #beadwork #embroidery #felt #cattails #bunchberry #crackerberry
