Rudbeckia Daisies
This is a new painting of the Rudbeckia daisies in a nearby garden. They are intermingled
with poppies and salvia and the bees seem to love them all. We are almost into
Autumn now and the houheria or lace bark tree is flowering at the back of our garden,
it is full of honey bees and from there they are coming into our vegetable patch to fertilize
the pumpkins. Along with the monarch butterflies they
are also visiting my pink cosmos and scarlet dahlias.
Wellington has had the hottest Summer on record so even with Autumn here
the days are warm and muggy.
