The earth is at the same time mother,
she is mother of all that is natural,
mother of all that is human.
She is the mother of all,
for contained in her are the seeds of all.
Hildegard of Bingen (German abbess, 1098 – 1179)
This piece was inspired from a wonderful “photo” of Julie’s at A Succulent Life
“Mother of Thousands” (Kalanchoe diagremontiana) reproduces by producing tiny plantlets that drop from the edges of its leaves, it has lost the ability to make viable seeds. This succulent has shifted some of the genetic processes that make seeds to it’s leaves.

Wow, this is so gorgeous! It’s like it is full of little jewels. Is it for your show? I’m sure everything you put in the show will be fabulous! Wish I could be there.
HCM!!
Truly beautiful!
I am speechless again…..
I see why you liked that photo of the fascinating Kalanchoe. I absolutely love your “Mother of Millions” it’s so full of life!
Lovely reproduction!
I loved this plant as a child thought it was magical!
Love the quote by Hildegard Von Bingen!

This is not a reproduction, it is original digital artwork…
No, it will not be in the exhibit – Had not considered it… I am wanting to print on metal… so I might try that. The exhibit is called “Brave New Art” and it is 6 artists with different kinds of digital art. It is in July and in Joplin MO at Spiva (a small art museum)… Most of the work is already done, but I’m in the finishing and prepping stage. I will be posting about it.
