So here are a few gems I found and I think look rather spooky!
An Evil Eye?
(or just Rubeckia hirta)
Dried up brains?
(or just a fungus)
Long, sticky fingers of a witch?
(or just an ornamental pepper)
Hairy arms reaching out to strangle?
(or just an old vine on a tree trunk)
A magic electricity ball?
(or just pine needles)
Pimpled, decaying flesh?
(or fungus on a tree stump)
Sweat on the green monster's face?
(or morning dew on a leaf)
Bloody fingers?
(or just Amaranthus)
Skeletal fingers, reaching out to grab you?
Maybe.
Mwahahaha! Happy (early) Halloween!
Really good post on plant textures. Textures are often overlooked, but you presented them in a most unique way. Loved it.

Kate, this is spectacular! I love your ghoulish plant selections!! I usually focus more on fall harvest vs. halloween, but this is a fun activity. You should start a halloween meme with the same theme...everyone has to add one spooky plant photo to the mix. Mr. Linky would make it easy for everyone to link to your post. Let me know if you do it!!
ReplyDeleteJoy - I look forward to seeing your photos then too!
ReplyDeleteKimberly - I love this idea. I am totally going to do it. stay tuned!
Awesome post! What a great imagination. Happy Halloween to you too!
ReplyDeleteNice post Kate! You brought back fond memories for me of when I used to write for Van Bourgondien...hope all is well!
