I'm so fascinated with the dynamic character of native flowers and it's finally manifested into a whole collection. At first glance the beauty of native flowers makes me think they're delicate, fragile and need a lot of care. When really, they are the most low maintenance, strong, hardy and resilient plants. There's something inspiring about the combination of beautiful and strong. And every Button in this collection is a representation of that.
 
Native plants are a very crucial part of keeping this world interesting, sustaining biodiversity, maintaining food webs, enhancing ecosystems and enabling so many living beings to have thriving lives.
 
It's my hope that when any Button from this collection is gifted, displayed and shared there will be a conversation around some of the same traits the native flowers have. Each Button being a reminder to...
keep this world interesting
support all of those we cross paths
foster collaborative connections
and to live our best lives by being in the moment
 
The Story Behind This Design...
The snowberry shrub, also known as waxberry, has a range of interest throughout the year. June and July the tiny pink, bell shaped flowers draw in lots of pollinators. A few months later, once they’re pollinated, those blooms will turn into pale green clusters of berries. And then during the winter months those green berries ripen to a creamy white, hanging in bunches on the branches giving them the nickname ‘ice apple’.
 
A fun thing about the snowberry is that its a host plant for the coolest looking moths…the hummingbird moth. When I first saw this bug in my yard I legit thought it was a bird. I then spent way too long hanging around the flowers to try and get a video of it…turns out it was worth it. Check out the video on my Studio page to see the moth in action.
