Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Crinum americanum, the string lily, lives in moist to wet soils. It occurs in southern and southeastern America, Mexico, and some West Indies islands.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Asparagales, Amaryllidaceae

For my string picture, I found a long piece of string in my kitchen that can be used for kitchen purposes. I knew I wanted to tie it around something, so I noticed on my kitchen chair there's like criss-cross strips of some hard material. I wound the string numerous times under and over the strips until it looked sort of like a web. Then I placed my camera on my tripod, and zoomed in as much as I could and only focused on the string to produce a shallow depth of field. In Photoshop I played with the colors until I finally liked how the colors look, added contrast and brightness, and reduced the shadows a little bit. I chose this picture because I liked how you can easily see the knot and I like the color scheme of this photo.

Colours required extra tweaking after the fact. Note to self: make sure colours look good before rendering! This saves time in the long run.
Even though I am not finnished my first string quilt, I couldn't help start another one. Such a great way to use up scraps.
You can't really see from this picture, but I've FMQ various flowers on the blocks and stipples for the background. I'll try for better pics when I get the binding added. It's really pretty in person.
