Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.
What is that? It's gorgeous and looks like a velvet sculpture. All my textile friends in grad school were knitting and crocheting fruits and veggies and it reminds me of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Verbascum.
DeleteOh, I like Linda's description - "velvet sculpture". How very appropos... I love those felted leaves.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought it was frost on the leafs...
ReplyDeleteI love plants that make rosettes like these. This was the one at the BBG, I bet. If so, I seem to recall, it was huge. Probably V. olympicum. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a frozen succulent for a moment!
ReplyDeleteOh that was quite the mystery for a moment! I have quite a few of those verbascum. They have such cool leaves!
ReplyDeleteLove these fuzzy wuzzy plants.
ReplyDeleteI knew what it was because I just photographed it, or one just like it, at the BBG. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's really clever, Peter.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a painting Peter.Or a handmade flower made from a fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove these fuzzy wuzzy plants.

ReplyDeleteI love all your spring blooms, especially the Iris reticulata 'Katherine Hodgkin' and Hellebores! It has been a wild ride here on Long Island with three snow storms in two weeks, bulbs emerging, then snow and repeat. Spring is struggling to get here!
