As a pattern designer, even my plants seem to sport awesome prints. I’ve become a little addicted to gardening lately and wanted to share these photos so you could see why. Exotic looking succulents have become my favorite because they’re amazingly gorgeous and so easy to maintain. I’m especially partial to the pink ones. I even threw in a picture of our grapes, for good measure. They’re turning from green to red, I can’t wait to eat them in a few weeks!

There’s something so magical about the set of below images, all by different artists. Mother Nature has come to life, and just in time for Spring. We could get all ‘English Lit’ about the meaning of becoming one with nature, or we could simply appreciate these lovely females in full bloom.
