Epiphytes

The blog's been quiet. So here's a bit of what I've been up to...

I've always found something fascinating about 19th Century botanical illustrations, those meticulous drawings of plants that pull your eye into their excruciating detail.

That lead to this project.

Not too long ago we got a bunch of Epiphytes. They are pretty and distinctive in a spiky sort of way. Individually they brought my mind back to those 19C botanical illustrators.

The longer I looked at them, the more they seemed to show off personalities and even eccentricities.

I love the complexity of the intertwining leaves and fronds, some of them seem to strike a pose, attitude everywhere...

Here 's what the camera caught...

Right click on a picture to isolate it on screen (yes, a bigger screen shows off the pics better and if you're new to the blog, look to the bottom of the post for links to earlier stuff).
