Day 16: Pots of Green

My mum loves her pots of green. She lives in a small unit and livens up her porch, lounge and kitchen with splashes of green to bring the outdoors in. Some of her plants flower and she is particularly proud of her new bloom.

We are not sure what the plant is. She thinks it was given to her some years ago as a birthday present and it flowers every year in spring. She calls it a 'gift that keeps giving'. This year, it has started flowering a little earlier than usual. I noticed when I arrived there are also a number of daffodils in the little garden up the road.

I don't think the daffodils are going to last tonight's wintry blast with temperatures predicted to go down to 2 degrees. However, mum's flower is safe. She has moved it indoors into the warmth. It was a little task I helped her with before our afternoon tea.



Medium: Winsor & Newton Watercolours on Hahnemuhle Watercolour Paper. 
Time to complete: 35 minutes
