I can be as busy as the bees on clover white and red…

as lazy as poppies only moving in the wind…

as bright and blue as the summer coming and going…

as fragil and firm as the pea that flowers but bears no fruit…

Hi Diane,
I hope one day you will publish a flora with your drawings for biology lessons in schools etc. These flowers are so beautiful and perfect!

‘I hope one day you will publish a flora with your drawings…’ Well, something like that is in the works (paintings and poetry)! Unfortunately my current (novel) publisher won’t handle it because the color illustrations make it too expensive. So I will probably be self-publishing it in the next couple of months. I have it done except for finishing up the index where I am listing information about all the flowers. Your encouragement in such a project is very much appreciated! XO
