58.🌱 Specimen: The Weeping Weed

📜 Field Guide

The Weeping Weed is the vagabond of the Poison Garden — hardy, stubborn, and impossible to truly be rid of. Its blotched leaves spread wide, outgrowing its pot as curling tendrils reach for anything to climb. At its heart, a jaundiced eye peers out resentfully, as if aware it is considered lesser among the more admired blooms. Folklore claims that once planted, the Weeping Weed returns year after year, no matter how thoroughly it is torn out, whispering its persistence through cracks in the soil.

🍄 Habitat

Found wherever unwanted things thrive: along hedgerows, old walls, or creeping up from forgotten graveyards.

⚠️ Warning

Never underestimate it. What seems weak at first will root itself deep, spreading until all else fades beneath its leaves.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note

Each Weeping Weed is hand-sculpted, painted, and unique, its mottled leaves and curling vines giving it a character all its own.
