When I first saw this mystery flower:
my first thought was that it's a version of cornflower - and a few days later I found this one to compare :)

May 2011: New Flower Identification Challenge
Another flower I cannot identify.
It has fuzzy stem, leaves and bud that looks as it's inflated and has a pointy end - that's where flower it sticking out. But when flower is gone this little bud-box stays - just becomes a little redder I think. This plant was climbing a tree with just a little help and otherwise occupied quite a territory by spreading vines all over other flowers.

Bermuda Sorrel?
One of the magics of sketching for me is discovering something that existed all the time without me noticing it - something mundane and beautiful. As I just found out these flowers are natives here and they bloom every spring for three or four month all over the cities around me. Some people welcome them in the garden in spring and some people try to get rid of them. It took me many years to notice them for the first time :)
I hope I identified them correctly ;)
