Technically it is a photo, but of a watercolor painting I did by painting over the leaves and blooms of plants in my gardens. The (2) leaves in the bottom left are from Boneset and Golden Alexander. The purple are NY Ironweed blooms (all BSN plants 😊). Top right is a Sensitive Fern and the only cultivar is the blue hydrangea bloom and leaf. “Leaf Motif # 1”.
