I arrived five minutes early for my lunch date—just enough time for a continuous line drawing of the lobby flower arrangement (colour added when I got home).

Ceanothus azureus ‘Concha’
I was actually surprised when I looked up the planting date on this shrub; it’s only been in the ground for 2.5 years — it seems longer. Looking at pictures of mature specimens, I’m excited for the future. But now I’m wondering why we went with a cultivar, not a local Ceanothus. Perhaps it’s all that was available at the nursery?

People in the US and Canada allegedly spend billions of dollars on Valentine’s Day to celebrate their loved ones, and roses are considered the gold standard of romantic gifts. Together, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are responsible for nearly 40 percent of annual flower purchases among top U.S. florists.
Here at Casa Hashiworks, we felt no need to contribute to this floral consumerism. We are still enjoying the daffodils Georgia gave us eleven days ago.
Narcissus
I love it when dinner guests bring flowers 💐, as I rarely buy them for myself.

amaryllis
My neighbour gave me an amaryllis bulb in December and it’s doing its thing! So pretty!

Seen on my walk, the prettiest white eucalyptus flowers (or gum flowers, as we call them Downunder.)

just a little one
Busy day, so only time for a tiny sketch. Literally tiny — it’s less than 2″ high, done with a .005 micron pen and painted with a size 0 brush. Inspired by the colours in a Saul Steinberg sketch of an ashtray made for him by his friend Alexander Calder. Thanks to Esté MacLeod for the prompt.
In other achievements, I replaced the ratty mesh on the screen door in our dining room, and now I feel like a DIY superhero.
