Gardening is the art
that uses flowers and plants
as paint
and the soil and sky
as canvas.

a nice close up of the bud, though I must confess I find the texture overlay a trifle distracting

A splendid close-up of this bud! It looks like an arm extended upward with the hand cupped with the blossom! I love that quote.

I live with a garden artist so I know exactly what Elizabeth means.

great color and pattern on the bud (and I like the focus point with the limited depth on this one). the flaky paint texture is a fine finishing touch

ah, that’s a quote I haven’t come across in ages. Or at least it seems familiar to me. It’s so very true.

What a lovely bud. I’m thinking either a chrysanthemum or a dahlia bud. I truly hope the rain comes soon in your neck of the woods.
