Mystery Flowers

Too lovely not to draw. This bed of flowers was huge and bright and delightful. There were several stakes holding these tall blossoms up but I chose not to include them, many were at least three feet tall. What a dramatic bouquet they would make!

  2. They're beautiful. My 1st thought was lupine, too, but they are not usually so colorful in the wild.

  7. I agree with Judy. These flowers are Delphiniums Pacific. I have some in my own garden and I sketched them too. Please have a look at my blog.
