Love this. I'm very fond of flowers in art. Inevitable poetry.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear that it could be in any way inspiration :D.

As a side-note, you will likely like my sketches here. Literally the only stuff I know how to draw are animals and plants. Biology teachers >> art teachers, as far as showing me technique is concerned ;).

I never learned how to draw things. I started to sketch things, like the one I just posted, very recently and out of nowhere. Before that the maximum I could do would look like a 3 year old kid's drawing. :D

No! Make that sound artsier! You were a cubist who's technique got ruined ;).

I have a love hate relationship with this flower. On one hand it smells amazing when it blooms and on the other it spreads like crazy and gets pretty tiresome to pull out of gardens. The smell is worth it especially when you drive by a ton of it with the windows down.

Wait, really? It's under protection and some level of control in Poland due to its growing scarcity. I can't really imagine it being purge-worthy in any way though.

Ya it grows like crazy in some parts of Ottawa, typically we just pull it back so that it's contained within one area because otherwise it'll just keep spreading. Funny how the way we look at plants can change depending on where we live.
