Photosynthasex | Botanical Blackwork SAL Pattern

You are purchasing a digital PDF pattern, not a finished embroidery piece.

These are plants. The Guild wishes to be absolutely clear on this point. Every name in this pattern is the plant's actual, verified, peer-reviewed horticultural name. Dr Anne Pemberton confirmed this with what colleagues described as barely concealed delight.

Photosynthasex documents the remarkable diversity of real plant nomenclature as found in peer-reviewed horticultural literature, rendered in blackwork with complete botanical accuracy. Knobweed. Stiffcock. Hairy Balls. Shagbark. Sticky Willy. Nipplewort. All real. All plants. The bearer was thinking about plants throughout.
