Well it’s certainly been summery weather here! Now it’s a bit cooler I can get out and enjoy the amazing botanical creations that are in full bloom at the moment.
Pale pink Cosmos is such an elegant plant with translucent and papery petals that are smartly crimped and pleated as though cut with pinking shears. The delicate fronds of foliage add a delightful contrast to this design classic. It grew easily from seed saved from last year and it looks beautiful painted on a grey mid toned paper.
Also the meadow is doing it’s thing with a sea of wild flowers decorated with butterflies, bees and beetles. Thankfully some things never change!
