When I was little girl my mother had a container of plants, small enough to be placed on a table. There was a small “mother-in-law’s tongue, perhaps a small jade plant and ?? The container called a “something or other” plant — can’t remember.”) They were a common sight.

On Mother’s Day my brother and I would buy her a small begonia plant for about five cents! She always had a blooming begonia in the window.

I really like this series! The dragonfly wings are beautiful; translucent against the sky. The sky is pretty; the lines really work. I think the green part of the flower is too rough; it’s distracting. I like the playfulness of the text “I tried”… and the way it’s part of the composition. WoW!
