Wild Flowers from New Zealand

A Bouquet of Wild Flowers

 
My granddaughter picked a bouquet of flowers for me when she went for a walk
with her grandfather.  I have used some of her collection in this Autumny painting
along with some colourful leaves which seem to have fallen later this year.
Also included are some honesty pods and a stick insect.  We often see these
'hayseed' stick insects and came home the other day to find one on the front door.
 
 
 
Here is another spiney stick insect which I picked up off the footpath
this morning, it must have been blown out of a tree in the storm
we had last night.  This one would have been 8 -9cms long in
it's body  so quite a large one.
