Research #1
The first design is inspired by Amaranth, which is a type of grain crop. It can be used as a dye but the plant itself is beautiful color, and I think making a design based off of it would be a fun challenge. Especially since when researching to see if there was anyone who had already made a pattern based on the plant I did not succeed in finding an example.

Research #2
The other design is going to be based on wheat. I really like botanical based designs for fabric so I enjoyed the idea of making a design based on plants. I chose amaranth for the first design because I had been wanting to use it in a project for a while and I thought since wheat is also a grain plant (and also has an interesting shape) it would be a good companion for the amaranth.
(I chose this image since it give a good amount of range for how wheat can look at different stages in the process Source: "https://www.realsimple.com/is-wheat-bread-healthy-8418255")
Research #3
This example is a stylized
depiction of wheat for a piece of upholstery fabric. I liked how the
wheat had been simplified, though my final design probably won't look
precisely like this as I am toying with the idea of my pattern also
including bread as well as dry and still growing wheat to add some more
color.
