Tree -- it is a real flower, just the way it looked when I saw it a week or so back at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. Unfortunately I have no idea what type of flower this is... Anyone?
sheesh, that's so gorgeous, it looks fake! Thanks for visiting my blog and thanks for the nice note! I've been thinking about sketching the new addition already! too bad he's crouched hidden in the corner...just a shadow...hey, that'd be easy to sketch...where's my black crayon? :)
It's a Gazania, native to South Africa, but grows beautifully in Arizona. They come in many colors from orange, yellow, white, and combinations of all three.
Is it real? So much of the art you post looks real? It looks like a cross between a sunflower and a passionflower. Tree
