Some Like It Hot - Some Like It Purple - Bay Area Flowers Series

Pin It
Bay Area flora

My exploration of the Arches Hot Pressed Paper is in progress. "Some Like It Hot" series is moving along well.

Above is the painting of the cute purple-pink flowers that I discovered in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. I tried to find their name online but all in vain. 

These flowers grow in a cluster of purple stars, sitting on an average size bush. The stems are fuzzy; and, therefore, in the morning each stem has a million teeny tiny due drops. This makes the flowers look as if they float in the air supported with some magic purple streams of water.

Hello dearest Irina! I don't know the name of the 'purple flower' but it looks so beautiful in your painting and I just love those fuzzy little stems.
I hope you are well, lots of love and hugs

Hello Irina:) It's because of the background I can see it's a painting otherwise I would say it's a photo. So beautiful. Amazing! I'm not 100% sure but could the flower be Pink Pelargonium? Anyway beautiful!
