The flowers of Stachyurus praecox are looking smart this year as the display is often damaged by frost. This spreading, deciduous shrub produces bell-shaped, pale yellow-green flowers on purple stems before the leaves emerge.

“Aurum”, lutruwita/Tasmania, 2019
Fagus, Tanglefoot, Deciduous Beech (Nothofagus gunnii, (Hook.f.) Oerst) is a tree of many names, but an identifying feature that supersedes them all – it’s Australia’s only cold-weather deciduous species.
Endemic to Tasmania’s alpine country, they are found in just a few small pockets of the island. Every year, tourists come from the world over to experience “the change,” turning from heritage green to flaming oranges for around a week.

Scientific Name: Ludwigia octovalvis
Common Name(s): Mexican primrose-willow
Family: Onagraceae (evening primrose)
Life Cycle: Perennial
Leaf Retention: Deciduous
Habit: Forb
USDA L48 Native Status: Native
Location: Plano, Texas
Season(s): Summer
In spite of its common name, this plant is widely distributed in the world’s warmer regions and is considered native in the southern parts of the U.S. The reddish seed capsules here are about 2″ (50 mm) long, and their size distinguishes L. octovalvis from other Ludwigia species found nearby with similar-looking flowers. The white flowers in the background are swamp smartweed (Persicaria hydropiperoides).

I love forests and I usually paint them quite realistic. So now I wanted to experiment a bit more and try to stylize them. Not gonna lie I love the final effect! Now I'm inspired to do more stylization studies ❤️
