The Last of the African Trees

The last two African trees have been finished and that's that. All six of them have all been based on photos of real trees but they do not always look likely. The one on the left I can live with but not the one on the right - but it did really have that branch structure.

Today I went into Worcester and took a long walk along the Worcester and Birmingham canal. Walking is more important than anything else at the moment. A minimum of 2 hours a day. Tomorrow I will walk over to the other side of town.

The top photo is a white trillium which has managed to have two flowers. This is a first for me. My trilliums have never before made it through the first three months with me never mind actually flower!!

The lower one is a species tree peony which I grew from seed. It just gets better every year. The flowers are about four inches across.

Off now to work on the Kennet Valley Guild project. I need to do some more towards assembly - and I need to make a cotton shirt before Saturday. So I will be up late tonight.
