Dreams Can Come True

I always remember when I bought a number of these plants at the nursery, I was told that they were 'rare' and temperamental to grow. The odd water and exposure to harsh winds, the enormous clusters of flowers they produce are phenomenal and bright pink. I look forward to them every year and will always paint a few artworks featuring these beauties. This piece contains a perfect little bunch, sitting atop a vintage book and floral cloth.
