I love ferns and would often bring them home from my walks in the woods. This one though, was printed on the back of a rubber stamp.
Geraniums have always been a favorite of mine.
This was a leaf I had collected from another walk. Only the veins were left of it and it was fairly fragile, but I liked the look of it.

I have wonderful memories of harvesting raspberries in the summer months from the hill behind orphanage #7 in Zelenograd, Russia. However, these here were American raspberries.
This was a wild rose someone had put in a vase on my grandmother's table.
If I remember correctly, this statue was pictured in one of my mother's gardening magazines, which I copied. Someone recently told me that they know a girl who looks just like this drawing!
This picture was on the front of my journal, in color of course.
This is a DaVinci study of a tree which I copied out of a library book.
One of the first signs of spring at my grandmother's is a carpet of white and purple wild violets under the winter jasmine.
