So far - blackthorn in bloom (I may mean hawthorn), snowdrops, primroses, and daffydandoodles in profusion.  Easter is coming - choccy eggs, and Spring!

Hawthorn is later Robert it's other name is "May". Tells you when. Blackthorn/ quick thorn is out right now...it has no leave and I think it's Sloe. . Yes our lanes are covered in Daffs and primroses,.. so pretty .   A lovely time of anticipation...unless it bloody snows again..we were well snowed in last week.  I expect you missed it.  Plus Celandine ,and Dandelion  even the odd Daisy.

Ta, Slyvia - I should have known that!  And, though my short-term  memory is not what it was (blame the demon drink) I shall remember that defintion; I KNEW hawthorn was also called May - but you may write me down as a silly old fool.  Though - beautifully marked, and with a certain innate charm, by which you cannot hope to avoid being bewitched.

There are some nice pieces of work here. You almost have me wanting to draw a flower or two myself. Very inspirational!

Okay then Sylvia, I did go for it. This is my first ever flower, in chalk pastels on watercolour paper (A4). I'll maybe tidy it up tomorrow and put in on the gallery, but for all you mothers on the forum, here's a single rose.

Thanks Paul. I did it from two photographs of roses and a bit of imagination. The photo doesn't look as good as it does in real life, annoyingly, but I'm pretty pleased with it, so it's worth a bit more effort to tidy it up and blend it a bit. I just wanted to get it on the forum for Mothering Sunday. I'd forgotten how much I like working with soft pastels.
