September 1, 2018 at 3:19 pm #685445I am glad you like it.:)
I was in a difficult position after Vivien took my theme.:lol: .Kay, I have written the latin nomenclatura so that anyone, even if not english speaking, can find the vernacular name in their own language. I thought it would be nice for those who want to know the names:) .

One girl’s weed is another girl’s garden flower!!! ….. some of these are cultivated here!!!Well, I don’t have far to go to find wild flowers, so this should be a very nice challenge!
Cheers, Maureen

September 17, 2018 at 2:55 pm #685405I don’t know if I will have the time to complete a painting, but I like the inspiration of the challenge, and I had a lovely walk looking for Autumn wildflowers as possibilities. Great theme.

As I will never take this exact path again may I not leave a kind word unspoken or a kind deed undone. May my life count for good, may the world be better for my having been in it when the final reckoning is accomplished. Blessings, LynneDe
September 20, 2018 at 12:03 pm #685408It turned out okay so will be posting it on the 25th.

September 20, 2018 at 3:32 pm #685441I have nothing yet. I’ve seen some very interesting plants today but the weather did not allow for sketching – even photographing was tricky as I kept getting rainwater on my lens!
