The wisdom of plants
Most are androgynous
Some are androgenous
Few are purely female
Nature is not biased
So why are we?

*Ginkgos are androgenous.

Here’s a different view of the mosaic artwork I posted for #SilentSunday. It was just an interesting piece leaning against the wall of a community garden. Viewed here through the garden fence as well as the glass wall (with dot patterns) of a bus shelter nearby.

Spring's balm quickly fades
Summer blisters the garden
Sunflowers show some skin
Thick and radiant through Fall

A recap of the large mosaics captured by Perseverance to and from Sally’s Cove. They're up to 200 megapixels big, so better viewed with a zoom app:
