We had these plants all over our lot when we built our NY home. I remember how amazed I was at softness of the leaves - just like velvet......duh :) But, I was even more amazed to learn that the seeds can remain viable for 50 years!

Look at your calligraphy!! Really nice Pam!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on the calligraphy! It adds so much to the sketches and you do it so well. Glad the show went well and everyone left with blue crabs :) hee hee
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rhonda! Happy to say the Blue Crabs found lots of new homes :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen Velvet leaf . . . The seed pod looks familiar though. I will have to ask my mom. Leaves still on the trees but by weekend I think they will all be gone. Beautiful sketch, love the blue crab and knowing how you did it with racing paper etc..
