A Bunch of Flowers from New Zealand

A Bunch of Flowers

 
I just finished this painting of a bouquet of flowers which a friend received for her
birthday.  It contained a peony which won't grow here in my garden
as it is too warm, they mostlygrow in the South Island where they are
farmed for their amazing blooms.
At Dovedale near Nelson the roots are used to make an eczema ointment,
which is said to be very healing.
Here is my rendition of a celebration bunch of flowers.
