a dahlia I drew 5 or so years ago ... not my best drawing but it sucked me into drawing macro flowers AND growing dahlias in the garden.

@Birdsong Over here when you ask a florist for a “forever yours” bouquet. You’ll get Dahlias. ☺️ I love the symbolism of flowers.
@NoahAJoling I didn't know that, how lovely.
@Birdsong love this! And dahlias.

@KristinaWKelly thank you!

I had to cut down the actual dahlias in the garden for the end of the season. But that also means it's drawing season again :)

@Birdsong I’ve never been successful storing them over winter and stopped purchasing them.
@KristinaWKelly I completely get that. It's warm enough here I can leave them be in the ground over the winter. I am at heart a very lazy horticulturalist.
@Birdsong #macro #flower ... garden projects + arts & crafts (SanPedro Grafts)
@dopecactus San Pedro are one of my favorites, for so many reasons :)
@Birdsong I've never seen a drawing of a flower that brought to mind the instant impression of an action scene in a graphic novel. The movement and intensity ... Oh! It's you! The massager of persimmons! i just put that together! Well, now I'm even further smitten with your little parcel of this little world we share here :)
@dearydarling I grow things to draw during the day, and I draw things to grow at night.
@dearydarling and thank you for the kind words about my drawing!
