One of my favorite!


This is not from a photo of my own. The owner allowed me to use it and make a
"painting"... It's a gorgeous bloom. I don't have this plant but only can wish!

This was a gorgeous bloom.... I wanted more photos. This digi painting is different and I'm sure I will still play around with it and make it more of what I imagine... until then.. It's kind of neat!

P. 'Violetta' digi painting


I really love this flower. For some reason, I can't seem to keep it alive through the winter....

P. artropurpea painting



Having fun with some of last years photos until some new blooms come my way.... Corel Painter is the neatest program but I'm still trying to figure out the basics...!

The first Lady of the year!



This is my first P. 'Lady Margaret' bloom of the season. I'm excited to see these blooms multiply. There are four hanging baskets of this variety that welcome me home with blossoms all over the place! My plant from two years ago didn't overwinter so I didn't have this one last year at all. So, I'm thrilled to have it now!

Example of hybrid magic



Eric and Crystal sweetly allowed me to use the photo of their hybrids.... it shows the difference in parents, all in the same picture. Hybridization (is that a correct word?) is truly a magical and fascinating process to me.....
