The bulbs are pushing up everywhere and now is the perfect time to do do some flower sketching. I enjoyed doing this sketch and getting on with flowers again. Afterwards I decided to add pen. (second image)

So, pen or pencil?

Yellow rose

I don’t know the name of this rose,but it is a lovely soft yellow climbing rose and overflowing with blooms in June. I love yellows and oranges in summer with a lot of white and accents of blue. Isn’t nature perfect in its inspration?

Kniphofia in watercolour.

Also known as torch lily or red poker, I grew up in south Africa knowing them as ‘vuurpyle’. We had them in the garden and every summer they flowered in abundance. I have them in my garden now as well, a little reminder of my South African roots.
