09.09.09 Velvetleaf

Given this special ‘number day’ in September, I had to sketch something so I’d remember where I was. Sketch I did, I just didn’t finish this page until yesterday 🙂

We had these plants all over our lot when we built our NY home. I remember how amazed I was at softness of the leaves – just like velvet……duh 🙂 But, I was even more amazed to learn that the seeds can remain viable for 50 years!

  1. I don't think I have ever seen Velvet leaf . . . The seed pod looks familiar though. I will have to ask my mom. Leaves still on the trees but by weekend I think they will all be gone. Beautiful sketch, love the blue crab and knowing how you did it with racing paper etc..
