This is a cutting I grew of my favorite plant, Ceanothus americanus/New Jersey Tea, with my tattoo of its botanical illustrations from a survey done a few centuries ago (and my pasty I-wear-jeans-all-summer legs)
That is so cool! I've thought of getting a tattoo of a tomato plant, I love how yours looks.
Thank you! I say do it, but I love tattoos
That's awesome! We have a Russian tea plant in our backyard. It likes the climate and promptly became a bush, haha.
Fun fact - Ceanothus americanus and Camellia sinensis both produce similar compounds. C. americanus was seen as a way to break the stranglehold that the East India Trading company had over the tea trade and played a role in the continental congress' decision to declare independence from the British.
