I live in Malvern, Worcestershire and am a very keen gardener. I started the Patient Gardener Blog in January 2008 as a way of recording what was happening in my garden and connecting with other like-minded people. I started a second blog PatientGardener 365 January 2013 in order to try and post a photo a day to capture what is growing in my garden or places I have visited View all posts by Helen Johnstone
Wow! Those are really impressive.
Indeed but I can take no credit for them – saw at the Malvern Show.
actually very interesting to look at an onion skin close up and see the patterns.
Thats what I thought, would make a nice painting
A lovely, neat bit of binding there, too!
Really beautiful!
Nature’s art and nature’s engineering are astounding: a brilliant installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum (until November) demonstrates this in practice by modelling a structure on the filaments created by a flying beetle, re-created by engineers using a robot. Your photograph underlines the creative strength and beauty found in the natural world – even in an onion!
