Horticultural Oddities

Amatueraceae concoctio
Asteraceae octopi
I haven't done a watercolor in 45 years.  I bought a cheap set this November and tried my hand at it.  My technique definitely needs more work.  Both these flowers are a figment of my imagination, hence the peculiar nomenclature. :)  I'm going to keep at it in hopes of producing more colorful illustrations.  I did a lot of this sort of stuff in Biology and Zoology while in college but it was strictly with pen and colored pencil while viewing through a microscope.  I also have a little antique field microscope of 100X that focuses by sliding the lens assembly up or down a tube attached to the stand.  I wish I had binocular set with 10X-50X for more macro work.
