Flora

Flora is moving along quite well.  We are supposed to be working in watercolour but coloured pencil is so much easier for me when my time is often snatched.  I can do 20 minutes in coloured pencil, but for paint I feel I must have some sustained time.
I am trying to depict marble becoming plants, death to life, dark to light.  The plants I am using are of spring, some with their own symbolism - primrose, marsh marigold, hart's tongue fern, periwinkle and strawberry.
I wonder if that big yellow blob of a marsh marigold is rather a mistake.
Hart's tongue fern, Clematis montana,
chionodoxa, primrose, marsh marigold

Celandines added, also veronica umbrosa.
