~We all live with regrets. When we come to the fork in the path, do we pause? When faced with the paralyzing option, do we gather our regrets close; breathe in their bruised petal scent? Hear them whisper ‘trust’. Then let them scatter, like so many discarded flowers. We have learned all they had to teach. Step forward with last season’s sweetness fading on your tongue. Purple coneflowers are one of the iconic prairie flowers. The bloom at the height of summer nourishing butterflies, bees and birds. They also have many medicinal healing qualities. Fade into Purple Coneflower is 11x14" on wood panel. She is part of my prairie series and now available as the original and prints. . . . #purpleconeflower #prairie #PrairieSeedDreaming #portrait #acrylicpainting #newcontemporaryart #botanicalart #wildflowers #plantnatives https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TujDhgOYK/?igshid=1org94csszfr8
The rest of my seed labels came from the printer! Now I just have to cut them all out and glue them to the packets. #blackeyedsusan are some of my favorite prairie flowers. The seeds are from my garden and will be given away at my native plant workshop. I’ll have more seeds to plant from @prairiemoonnursery nursery.
