This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Yeah, some kind of puffballs. I kinda added those as an afterthought. I'm from a desert adjacent town and there is a type of puffy buds that grows besides streets. yellow flowers in the beginning and then it turns into those buds, which release a lot of feathery puffiness. I don't know the proper name of the flower even in my native language but they are close to Thistle, sure.
That could describe a pretty good number of species, but I'm going to take a whack at a couple hardy ones that get kinda tall. Could be Sow Thistle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchus or Cats Ears https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochaeris
There's always Dandelions for yellow flowers that turn to puffballs, of course, but they generally have a low habit.
I think it's close to Sonchus, if not exactly that. I'll try to spot it in the community park, next time I go there, they probably don't weed it out and it's found near the boundary walls.
Sounds good! Sow thistle is cool. There's three main varieties. It's a really hardy plant, edible when boiled, and it has a really neat straw-like hollow stem. I know they're a weed, but I'm really rather fond of them.
yes, I find them pleasant on the eyes as well. Everything that isn't plastic, adds some aesthetic value to the environment.
