Last January I found, like you, a fascinating plant in our local flower shop. It had a cone as well as leaves (!). I had to do some research and found out it came from Africa. Here it is: <br />http://mindfuldrawing.com/2011/01/27/cone-bush-or-leucadenron-galpinii/<br /><br />It is a cone bush and I wouldn't be surprised if your Safari Sunset slowly develops in a Cone Bush since it has the same leaves. <br /><br />'Me...Jane', the book you recommend looks lovely. We like this one equally: 'Nicky the Nature Detective' by Ulf Svedberg. A deep love for nature starts early in life with outdoor adventures and nice books. <br />Congratulations with your beautiful Pink Ice.<br />PaulaMindful Drawinghttp://www.mindfuldrawing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-53789040435887009262011-05-31T22:37:12.553-07:002011-05-31T22:37:12.553-07:00Gorgeous illustration, Sarah!

Thank you for stopping by- it had been too long...and wow, your work keeps getting better and better..I love the fine details of your work and the natural beauty you capture - the fact that the leaves curl just so, and overlap here and there vs. being perfectly perfect is quite wonderful!<br /><br />Oh, the book looks to be a gem. Many thanks for your write up. Patrick McDonnell is one of my favorites and how can you not enjoy a book of Jane Goodall. How great that the art field gained you, and that the Biological field gained your son! Isn't it something how things turn out?!<br /><br />And, I do like the typesize here..easier for my eyes..thank you! always wonderful to view your work and visit.

I have a soft spot botanical illustrations, and this is superb work!<br /><br />As far as the font on your blog, this type size is more legible to me -- the one from the previous post seems a bit too small.<br /><br />And I LOVE "Me...Jane" by Patrick McDonnell! I just heard him speak at Book Expo in New York, where he talked about this book.
