Wisteria Bloom
We have two wisteria plants and for some reason they bloom at different times. This comes from the plant on the south side of the house.
Golden-and-Silver Honeysuckle Illustration
I’m taking an online course on Natural History Illustration. The homework for Week 4 was to illustrate a flower. We have this honeysuckle on our back fence (and it’s blooming!), so I snipped off a piece and used it as my subject. As soon as I submitted this photo for my homework, I noticed I hadn’t listed the measurements or even the color of the leaves. Lesson learned? Maybe.
Honeysuckle in the Garden
From Grandmother’s Flower Garden in La Grange, Texas. It’s a wonderful garden and I always roam through it when I visit the Texas Quilt Museum next door to the garden. These caught my eye. (Taken with my smart phone.)
Apricot Glow
Trichopsis hybrid cv. Apricot Glow at the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center, San Antonio, Texas.
I don’t know if I have ever seen this flower before. It looks a bit more pink than apricot, don’t you think? Maybe it was just the time of day I came across it. I saw it just as I was starting out on a walk around the center. I loved it so much I went back after I finished my walk. It had been raining lightly and I wanted to see how the flower looked with raindrops on its petals.
It's a long story ...
