    Brittlebush? New to me (I thought I was pretty familiar with the plants here in the SW). Will have to look that up. I wonder if it has medicinal uses?

    Such lovely petals, with a soft texture, sweet shape and with subtle shadows, a lovely visual treat…

    a fine job the plants’ leaves are doing! The texture on this plant reminds me of lambs’ ears that grow prolifically here in Indiana.

    I like companions that don’t talk back at you. 😊

    The subtle colouring of the plant in magical evening light is so beautiful.
