I have just about caught the last of our Wallflowers before the rain battered the life out of them for good.
Some are a little bug-eaten but it doesn’t spoil the colours in any way.
And this is what I most love about Wallflowers, their ability to look absolutely beautiful in any conditions, in any place in the garden with the minimum fuss or care.
Such a humble garden beauty – just quietly getting along outlasting the big, blousy, show-offy tulips.
So far I have drawn and coloured-washed the shapes ready for all the layers and fiddly details.
What’s your day ahead look like?

Lovely, Claire! Now you’ve got me wanting to grow wallflowers. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen them before. Perhaps they’re not common here in the US?
Loved your pears, too, and your imaginary countryside view.
Funny that our weather has been so opposite… yours so rainy and ours so dry. Hope you get some sunshine soon!
