its not every day your work grows on its own

so the other day i made some more paper this time i used bamboo leaves petals and other leaves, i also found some seeds in the cupboard that i thought were something daft like herbs i saw them and chicked them on not reading the label.
And this morning ater leaveing them to dry over night ironed the paper dry turned it over and realised there white wormy looking things, on closer inspection i realised i had sprinkled seeds onto my work and as they absorbed the water thy started to root. i grabbed the packet and reaslised i had sprinkled linseeds onto the paper. the expiery date on the packet says nov 09.
ive just googled the flower they grow into, the linseed flower is  purple.
here is a photograph
according to wikipedia these flowers are only grown in egyp and asian countries.
they contain omega 3 ( =S makes no sence cause i swear thats to do with fish)
anyway..

here are the photos of my paper and also of my growing piece =]
the growing paper

when i was browsing yesterday i came across this image of cress and paper pulp, i think i shall experiment with seeds and paper pulp and see what results i get.
