Last year in Oslo I was given this card with embedded flower seeds by the legendary @beabusaniche of https://www.vialibre.org.ar/en/home/ Well, I&#39;ve just planted those seeds in the burgeoning northern hemisphere Spring. Let&#39;s see how some Argentinian flowers enjoy a London garden! The card says &quot;Understanding how this works is an act of REBELLION&quot;. And so is growing things with friends and comrades. Thank you, Beatriz.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mariafarrell/116301171081614429 Bit of a cryptic Latin American botanical theme in this picture, actually. Growing in the walled bed the Argentinian seeds are on top of is a plant known as erigeron karivanskianus, which is known in these parts as Mexican Fleabane. (it looks like VERY prolific daisies when it flowers)

@mariafarrell@mastodon.social I'd never heard of plantable cards until I bought two plantable birthday cards recently.

@mariafarrell@mastodon.social @beabusaniche@rebel.ar Wow, cheers for mentioning this! And price-wise, going by the first two shops I've found – https://www.theseedcardcompany.com/ and https://ukseedpaper.com/plantable-cards/ – I'm pretty sure these are cheaper than non-plantable ones I've previously bought.
