Seasonal Spuffy crosspost #1: In a Band (worksafe)
Some watercolor flowers, basically, which are Spuffy if you take maybe five minutes to squint at the post.
Title: In a Band
Creator: thenewbuzwuzz
Era/season: s2, "Becoming"
Band, n...
1. A fillet, strap, or any narrow ligament with which a thing is encircled, or fastened, or by which a number of things are tied, bound together, or confined; a fetter.....
3. That which serves as the means of union or connection between persons; a tie. "To join in Hymen's bands." Shak....
7. A company of persons united in any common design, especially a body of armed men. "Troops of horsemen with his bands of foot." Shak.
8. A number of musicians who play together upon portable musical instruments....
12. A bond. [Obs.] "Thy oath and band." Shak.
13. Pledge; security. [Obs.] Spenser.

I'm aware that Spike and Buffy might be kind of hard to spot in this image. I'm afraid I did that on purpose. Here's a hint if you'd like one. The silhouette is based on a screencap from kissthemgoodbye.net.
I went to town on this page that lists flower meanings in the Victorian flower language.
Violet (White): Let's take a chance
Columbine (Purple): Resolved to win
Geranium (Pencilled): Ingenuity
Clematis: Artifice (ingenuity)
Straw Flower: Agreement
Olive Branch: Peace
Nasturtium: Patriotism, Victory in battle
And now you know what flowers I was trying to draw. They're not at all to scale, as you might have noticed. Couldn't deal with the concept of size in addition to what I was doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reference photos for drawing the plants: by georgesgewels, philip_goddard, stewdean, tanakawho, Robert Mitchem, christian_hamacher, (loosely) wildflowersflorida, and this nasturtium photo on nicholasjv.blogspot.com that I'm not sure was taken by the blog author.
